Eragon is a sixteen-year-old boy who lives with his uncle and cousin in a small town called Carvahall.
One day, while hunting in the Spine, the range of mountains next to the village, something strange happens. Suddenly a big blue stone appears in front of him. He has no idea of what it might be, but he picks it up and takes it back home to try and sell it. But this strange stone isn’t what it appears to be, and it is of much more importance than Eragon could ever imagine.
I really enjoyed this book and the others in the cycle, because they are full of dangers, adventures and surprises, good and bad. Eragon is the first book in The Inheritance Cycle, followed by Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance. I really recommend you to read them especially if you love fantasy fiction.
By the way, Paolini was only fifteen when he wrote it!
