This is a fantasy book by by Christopher Paolini which I just finished reading.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375826688/?tag=pfamazon01-20

It is similar in quite a lot of ways to the Lord of the Rings and in my opinion a very nice book to read.

The second book of the trilogy is Eldest.

If you have not read this I highly recommend it.
I also think that a Book discussion sub-forum would be nice addition.

Eragon and Eldest are excellent books. It is an extraordinary effort for a first work of a young author. Eragon was written when Paolini was 17-18, and he recently finished Eldest.

I am certainly looking forward to third book.

While there are parallels (themes and archetypal characters) with the Lord of the Rings, I think Paolini's Trilogy stands on its own, and in time, it will become a classic.

I think it's a lot like a combation of Star wars and the lord of the rings.
I think it's a good book. I havn't finished eldest yet.
