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.
It took a manager at borders to find my 2 books. Though I was mad as I walked out. I walked PAST the newest book and the 3rd one. I didn't notic it till we left and I had already dropped 65 on books..so shoot. I think total for thrusday i spent 183 on books. 118 on amazon and 65 at borders.I had fun, but now I have to scrap to make sure we have money for a hit were taking next month. *sign*
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 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.
The Eragon Books 
So that's how those books got to be published!
