Eldest

Eldest this is the sequel to the book Eragon, this book is mainly about how Eragon has started his trainning, the sides are drawn for the coming war and what happens to those that have been left behind or even thought to be dead or captured.

The book has a red cover and on the front a red dragon this gave hope that there may be a new dragon but for good or evil no one knew.
The title of book witch is eldest was appropriately named as you may find during the book.
There are some major battles in this book and some large political plots to but it will keep you captivated.
In true paolini style the book is just as good as the first and has a perfect blend of detail to keep you intrest and stroy so you dont get stuck reading 12 pages about a mountain sides features.



Also this book introduces some new very real threats and some old threats.
it also show eargon the main charcter starting to mature and question things instead of following orders it is the the book that shows growth love companionship and joy.

Also there as yet have been no signs of this book being made in to a film which is a good thing as this could be an absolute tradgery for the community of fans who love these books so much.

Eragon


I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned these books yet it taken time but I have got round to it.


I borrowed this book from my sister and loved it the author Christopher Poline certainly knows how to draw you in to the world he creates.

To me these books should rival if not better Harry potter for beings some of the best children to young adult books of our time.



I do not like to go in to much detail about the books I review as you may want to read them yourself.
But the main character of the book is called Eragon who goes hunting in a forest not far from his home to help his family, whilst hunting he find a strange blue stone in a forest.

Later he finds the stone is a little more exciting but just as dangerous as it turns out to be one of the last remaining eggs of the legendary and all but nearly extinct race of Dragons.

this is but a littel of what happens in this book and sets the scene for an epic tale of heroism and daring never before drement of by this young boy.

i give these books a 4 and a half star rating, there are two more books to make a trilogy and a fourth to be relesaed yet the other two books that have been released are called Eldest and Brisinger.
finaly there is one more point i would like to make and this is about the film adaptation of the books Eragon which i personally find distaestful and not a good representation of the book at all.

But for all it fallings it is good for people who have not read the books and will entertain children.

Rangers apprentice

so i have been recommended some books my beautiful fiancee and these books are called the rangers apprentice.
i have read two of these books and have nearly finished a third, and i find my self very involved with the world the writer John Flanagan has created the books may not be as in depth as the way they are with J.R.R Tolkien, but i find that this adds to the appeal as the writer gets you to the action very quickly and keeps your attention.
i will not write any quotes from the books them selves as this would not be fair to any one who wants to read these books, but i give them a 4 star rating the characters grow in front of your eyes and i feel involved guessing what is about to happen but hasn't yet and needing to read more and more to find out.
