Anxiously awaiting for the last book!!!!

it covered all different aspects and places and people. you learn so much about how people think. paolini got me hating some ppl in the book which means its a good book! he outdid himself. loved it!

Very disappointing...really...I mean, who in the world wants to read a HUGE book about nothing? Serious, I've waited since 2005 for the series to continue and got really disappointed with this one, it was BORING, so much I skipped full paragraphs all together! Didn't like at all...next book we'll finally see the end of Eragon and Saphira's saga but the series, could've seriously done without Brisingr... arrrg!

I really want to give at least one of Paolini's books 3 stars, but I really have a hard time giving it when I think back to all the fillers. I still harbor no good will towards the hero, and there seems to be more questions than answers.

I really appreciated the next statement of the Inheritance serie. It reveals a lot of things and we get to know more of each characters and see more of their personalities. In this book, Eragon do the things that he didn't have the time to do in previous books thus the first half and more are things he said he will do in the other two book so no great surprise. And for the other half it was totally amazing, we get to know big secrets and something very important happen. However there was some length and I would have like more action in the first half of the novel.

Christopher Paolini works magic as he writes the story of Eragon and His Dragon Saphira on to the pages of Brisingr.... When i got this book for christmas i was looking at it remembering how good the perviouse good books were.... and i just kept thing theres no way he can top his previouse two book...... Well Christopher blew me away he not only topped his last two books this was probally the best book i read all year...... i sewriously could not put it down every were i went i had it on me until i finished it...... i even read the book insteading of studying for some of my exams!!! lol XD
But you will not regret reading this book trust me it is a master peice on paper and I thank Christopher many times for writting such an amazing book. So i recomend this 1000000000000 percent....... you will not be disipointed for every page, every chapter, and every book ends with you sitting there going OMFG what happens next....... I cant wait till the fourth and final book comes out in this series......
Until nxt time......
happy reading!!!!

My favorite series EVER!!!!!!! While Definitley my fave of the three in the series though, the second book was not as great as the other two BTW. The relasionship between Eragon and dragon Saphiora is captivating, to say the least. I would highly reccomend this book to any fantasy lovers out there.

Christopher Paolini is becoming a well known and original if not totally interesting writer.

With the notable success of Eragon, it seemed, at the time that he was going to be one of the more memorable writers of our time. Unfortunately, both Eldest and Brisingr have been read simply because their predecessor was so interesting. After having read Brisingr I find myself asking questions as to what in the world has caused Paolini to rush his writing. Action sequences, story line, and characters all seem to be rushed or introduced to quickly. With Paolini's writing moving at what appears to be warp speed; it is hard to under stand exactly where Paolini intends to take the story.

With the death of several interesting characters, the main characters seem to loose their purpose, and their internal conflicts appear as something dull and uninteresting. Not to deny the fact that the book has several epic, and thrilling sequences that are only slightly more than sufficient to keep readers interested. Paolini's writing still possesses its charm, but with the increasing length of the book, all of Paolini's work is crammed and hastened along leaving readers more than confused as to why he would be trying to move so fast.

There is no doubt that the last book of the Inheritance Series is going to be interesting. The real question is whether or not Paolini is truly going to be able to prove whether his next book is worth a read or not. Hopefully he won't be so eager as to over write as he appears to be doing with Eldest and Brisingr. The truth is, we all want a book that is going to be interesting, and if the writer is rushing himself we're not going to end up with the same success that Eragon was. It's high time that we all give the writers more time. Never the less, Paolini still manages to create characters that are believable, if only at skin depth. Another point is that in Eragon, Paolini goes so far as to say that Dragons are intelligent creatures, and yet in his latest books he shows that Dragons are no more than dumb animals only interested in hunting, though they appear to have intelligent advice to those who ask them of it. This leaves the idea of whether Paolini truly wanted to make his Dragons intelligent or stupid. The confusion continues, and we can only hope that Paolini will come up with some means to rectify this situation.

At least Christopher Paolini knows how to write fillers...
Which was exactly what this book was. Everything that was actually worth reading took place within the last hundred pages, which can easily be summarized into a page.
It was a little bit of a let down, to be honest. I waited a year (if not slightly more) for some sort of conclusions and developing ideas and what I got was a book that started lots of ideas and finished those ones, but left all the originals from the other books unanswered (for the most part).
It had some good parts, the questions that were answered are huge and will play an important role in the next book. Eragon grows more into his character and we get to see more of...well everyone in this book.
It was alright, not terribly good, but not terribly bad and unfortunately, necessary to read if you want to continue with the series.

I like the concept of the story, and the third book is definitely an improvement for me compared to the previous two he wrote. I thought maybe Paolini could have picked up the pace a little and cut down some of the book. Like his previous two books, I found that it was harder for me to wrap my head around his sentences compared to works by other authors that I read. You will find yourself going through this story because you want to know what happens to the hero at the end, and NOT because of gripping turns and surprises at the end of every chapter.

I love this book. It takes you in just like the other 2 books. I really enjoyed this one and can't wait for book 4. :)

The best of the three by far! I could not put it down and it just left me wanting more! I recommend the series to all fantasy/action lovers and I most certainly recommend this book. The ending was a bit disappointing, but not because it wasn't extremely well written. It was simply disappointing to be finished and have to wait for the fourth.
I cannot wait for the final book of this cycle, and I must say that Christopher Paolini has really out done himself.

This wazz the best book iv read in a long time just that that the book end at a cliffhanger and kinda left the entire book open ,we know as much about the trilogy as we did in eldest just that he eragon has a new sword and he can now beat murtagh thats the sum of it!!!! other than that an icredible book all in all!=)

You can read an accurate Brisingr review on my site: http://impishidea.com/Reviews/42/brisingr-review .

Just fininished reading Brisingr after picking it up on the first day of sales. Paolini did an amazing job of continuing his evolution of his world. I thouroughly enjoyed the book however I was suprised and dissapointed to have to wait for how long no one knows until the fourth book comes to light. Still He keeps us waiting.

Incredible read and a must for any who are following the series. his description of the different races is like watching a movie in your head. Details are incredible in his manipulation of our imaginations. Again a must read

I am pretty sure tat teh other dragon egg left with King Galbatorix will be hatched and the dragon is gonna be named Brisingr.and Itz tHE fIRST sPELL eragon used to fight the uRGULS.........

The name of the golden dragon in Eldest is Glader and his rider Is Orimir. The new dragon in this book is going to be green. This info has been released by Christopher Paolin, on his website. And Brisingr is the first ever spell Eragon used!!!!

Dustin I thought that Brisingr was the name of the golden dragon? Remember that in the end of Eldest the other dragon rider for the elves starts to teach Eragon so he can become the true saviour to the elven kingdom. The golden dragon has a stump for his leg because he lost it in a battle.
