Helpful Score: 1
This book is, in my opinion, terribly over-rated. Don't get me wrong: it's not a bad book, but any avid reader of the fantasy/sci-fi genre will feel like they're watching an old re-run throughout the entire book. All the themes seemed tired out and over-used, and it really doesn't contribute much to the genre. Honestly, I think the success of this book can only be credited to it's similarities to Harry Potter, and thusly how it managed to ride it's coat tails to get a fan-base. It doesn't surprise me at all that the story comes from a fantasy Paolini had as a kid: I think any highly imaginative child could have come up with the same plot.
