I know these are for teens but has anyone read the Eragon books? I picked up the first two. I woulda picked up the 3rd, but I didn't notice it till the I had already dropped 65 bucks on books.....

I loved the movie, but as always the books are not like the movies. So i'm interested to see what they are like.

I didn't notic it till we left and I had already dropped 65 on books..so shoot.

I really want to read them! I bought them for the library here but just haven't sat down with them yet.

The guy that wrote them is really cool! He started them when he was a teenager. Nobody would publish it so his parents did it themselves! A guy that works for a book publisher was vactioning and drove through Montana and his son picked up one of the books and couldn't put the book down! So that's how those books got to be published!

Another thing about the author.....while his parents shopped at Costco he would stand in the book section signing all of his books!

I really should read those.

I haven't spent that much $ on anything since I was buying beads on Ebay a few years ago and craft books thru the book club. None, by the way, of which I have any longer

I think we have all done that before...buy toooo much & worry about the aftermath later.

Tim (DS#2) has read the first two and is now reading #3. He gets so into them, he can't put them down. He's stay up all night reading if he could get away with it.

I haven't read them, I'm not really into the fantasy stuff. Haven't read HP either. Don't shoot me!

Tim said he heard there might even be a 4th Eragon book. Supposedly book 3 could've been over 2000 pages, but he ended it in order to keep it a normal readable size. Because of that, he's decided to do a 4th. Now, remember, all this came from a 13 year old. His sources are other 13/14 year olds so............. there ya go.

Anyway, Tim says these books are awesome!
