Eragon
is just a poor farmboy when a mysterious blue rock appears at his foot while
hunting. He soon learns it is a dragon egg and he is a Dragon Rider, one of the
old legends he's heard about as a child. He and his dragon Saphira must stop the
evil King Galbatorix and his dragon Shruikan and save Alageasia.
This
book, by Christopher Paolini, was enchanting and very hard to put down. I liked the world in which the
author put his story, where Dragon Riders ruled and magic was at the hands of
everyone. I think young boys will like this book very much. It made me feel like
i was actually in the world of Eragon.
