Brisingr - Comments

Absolutely amazing! I love the depth in Paolini's characters and how he interweaves politics and history of his world into the story. It's descriptions ar beautiful, although at times trite. I dislike Arya, however, in this book, I actually started to care for her.

This is not a book for those who like straight-forward and plot driven book such at Twilight. In my opinion, Brisingr is more intense. You care for the horribly imperfect characters more with each chapter.

Though Paolini is criticized for his slow moving plot, I absolutely cherish every detail that provides a window to his world.

I have to commend Paolini's characterization of the races. At first, the book seemed a LOTR rip-off. The depth that Paolini goes into to help us understand the most grotesque races such as the Urgals, allows Brisingr to stand as an outstanding work of teen fantasy.

I haven't read Brisingr yet, not rich enough for a hard back copy lol.

I am so glad that there's this book, i love Paolini and his writing, I watched an interview of him talking about Eragon, and he's an inspiration to young writer's all over. He wrote Eragon as a teenager and based Eragon on himself, how many other teenagers on this site alone do that?

I was shocked at the film, it wasn't particularly good and Arya didn't even have pointy ears but i didn't think it was too bad, i would love them to bring out Eldest but i doubt that they will after the response to Eragon. Some things just have to stay in your head i guess. A bit like the Harry Potter films which are getting increasingly disappointing as they get darker.

I cannot wait to read Brisingr, I almost died at the end of Eldest because of the suspense and i need to know what happened. This is a great review hun ^_^

Woot! Another Eragon fan!
Paolini has grown so much as a writer - I found myself jumping for joy at the improvents. I re-read Eragon, and had planned to read Eldest, but my mom suprised me with a copy, so I didn't have time. :) that changes were so clear to me - it was really amazing.
Great article, by the way - well written.
Without going into too much detail - BRISINGR ROCKS! :D

Very well written. I heard a lot of negative things about the book but after reading it I thought it was pretty good. Anyways, wonderful review!

I've read more then a thousand comments it seems the say this book was just a filler and it sucked so badly and that he should have just stoped witth Eldest and advises no one to read it if they like their brain unrotted. There are a good bit of poeple who liked it though. I don't know I haven't got it yet and dispite all the negatives saying the same thing I still do plan to read it. I really do hope it was worth the wait.

Nicely written!
