Exciting and full of adventure.

Filled with darkness and evil, excitment and awe, this is a must for lovers of fantasy.

Eldest is absolutely stunning and proves Paolini is still burning bright. He has a real talent for brining his imaginary world to life and creating the most wonderful characters that walk out of the pages and into your mind.

South Wales Evening Post
Included in Cheltenham Festival round-up of the first week: "author of the much-loved fantasy adventure Eragon
The Times
Eragon dabbles in magic - as does the author, as this book is wonderful...a real page-turner, the best adventure tale you'll ever read.
Scottish Sunday Herald
Interview with Christopher Paolini
The Times
Sophisticated...a plot following Eragon's cousin is compelling.
Dreamwatch
Paolini writes beautifully of another world full of magic. This second of a trilogy is a must for fantasy fans.
Aberdeen Evening Express
With Eldest [Paolini's] writing is far more assured...there's no denying Paolini knows how to tell a story.
Manx Independent
If you want a book filled to the brim with adventures, magic, fighting and a fiendishly twisty story, pick Eragon and Eldest and I guarantee it will be hard to resist the lure of these titles.
Books for Keeps
Puts its teenage author firmly on the best-seller lists.
Lowestoft Journal
The scenes and characters were described so well I could create a picture in my head of everything - reader review (aged 12).
Irish Examiner
A most stunning piece of literature.
Inis
Fluent and action-filled.
Telegraph
Paolini has matured as a writer, but lost none of the imagination that makes this series such compulsive reading.
Cambridge Evening News
Better than the Harry Potter books... I can't wait for the next one.
Carlisle News & Star
Older neophytes of the genre will devour this with relish
Inis magazine
An impressive achivement by such a young writer.
School Librarian
I strongly recommend this book to anyone, young or old, who appreciates loyalty, love, friendship and bravery. Uncommonly brilliant.
