Eargon was okay... if not extremely long winded, but don't even get me started on Eldest.
Look on the bright side, Stephenie Meyer is far, far away.

Date: 4/23/10 01:56 am (UTC)The biggest problem I had with Eragon was how utterly unoriginal and cliched it was. It was like a spewing of every sword-and-sorcery Tolkien rip-off created. With bad prose.
Yeah, I liked how Meyer was floating on the edge of space. :D

Speaking of which, I just started a book about the publication process and popularity of Nancy Drew called Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Woman Who Created Her by Melanie Rehak. It's been really good so far.
