That reminds. I think a sufficient amount of time has now passed and the movie has faded from my memory. Perhaps I'm ready to try reading these books now.

That'll teach me not to watch the movie first next time.

books aren't much better

in one book they talk about how magic uses the lifeforce of things around you, so it isn't fun and games.

in the next chapter they have the elf girl make a boat and have it float FOREVER by drawing the life of the things below it to power it why? because it's cool!

the whole "don't eat meat because we understand how life is magic so it's okay to kill things by drawing their life out to power magic but it's not ok to eat the meat."

course since I've read the other three I'll probably read the fourth one too.

I read the first one. I'm good with stopping there. It's been a while, but I remember book one being fine. Haven't heard anything good about the rest of the books, so I have no interest in reading them.

Book 1 was basically, "This is pretty decent, it is essentially Star Wars with dragons but the kid is so young I can't wait to see what he writes when he gets older".

Book 2 was basically, "This is more of the same, I suppose I will keep reading".

Book 3 was basically, "HOLY GOD HOW IS THIS SO BAD?"

instead of reading eragon you can just enter the pain olympics and cut off your junk in front of the internet. it would be less painful and embarrassing.
