Review Feedback 1 : Eldest Limited Edition ( Bestseller Kindle Book ) Good Read. The author continues to describe the world just as beautifully in this book as in the first. Eragon is flawed as a character and is described as such in this book. I enjoyed that Paolini has gone back to tie up loose ends where Eragon's cousin is concerned. I really am looking forward to the third book in this series.
Review Feedback 2 : Eldest Limited Edition ( Bestseller Kindle Book ) 5 Stars for entertainment value, but much lower on, well, everything else., I gave Eldest 5 stars here because I really did enjoy the book. It's fun and quick and something to enjoy. I want to see how he resolves all of the problems raised in book 2, because I've noted that lots of authors don't do this at all, simply sidestepping the hard stuff (especially in sci-fi). Anyway, I suppose if you just want pure entertainment value, go for it. However, as many others have noticed, I was extremely annoyed with the odd preachy tone that the book assumes. Obviously, vegetarian is the only way to go (I wonder if PETA promotes this book ...), and we should believe everything the elves say, because they're the BEST! Huh? Elves are beautiful, immortal, perfect in every way, and it is them to whom Paolini grants ultimate authority. Isn't it enough that our culture immortalizes beauty above all else???? The elves put down humans (too crude) and dwarves (they believe in GODS. By Hrothgar's hammer!) and YOU, Eragon, better listen to US because we are the Alpha Race. Even the whole infatuation w/ Arya situation revolves around this bizarre prejudice of race and ability. Right. Hopefully, in the last book, we lose that and start kicking some Galbatorix butt. Two points I'd like to throw out there : I think Eragon should eventually end up with Nasuada. After all, she is of noble blood and prophecies are notoriously vague. Also, does anyone else think that Roran has some latent powers as well?
