 Strike 2, Paolini is almost out October 5, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is bogged down with lengthy passages and confusing descriptions. I am a good reader, and I often times could not understand what the place he was describing was meant to look like. Why?? Because of the way he writes.
"A web of white veins adorned the backside of the crags and pillars, where hoarfrost had collected in the cracks that furrowed the rock. Nothing else disturbed the gloom of Helgrind's inky, windswept ramparts. No trees grew there among the slanting stones, nor shrubs, nor grass, nor moss, nor lichen, nor did eagles dare nest upon the tower's broken ledges. True to its name, Helgrind was a place of death, and stood cloaked in the razor-sharp, sawtoothed folds of its scarps and clefts like a bony specter risen to haunt the earth."
Now, don't get me wrong, if you read very carefully, you can get the image. But as eloquent as the home-schooled Paolini believes he is, this is the most damn confusing read I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The character of Eragon, somehow, is extremely gifted and talented at fighting. But no one knows why. The only reason seems to be that he was CHOSEN to be a dragonrider. But no one knows why. He is not gifted. Paolini writes him as being rash and foolish and impulsive, but somehow he manages to be a wise and powerful warrior. This story has hardly any believable elements in it.
I liked Eragon. It had flaws, and at times I wanted to take a red pen to it, but I still enjoyed it. This book was slow and long. The descriptions were long, but they didn't help much. In any case, strike two for Paolini.
Eldest was just like this book in the way it was hard to read. That was strike one. Brisingr was strike two. Almost out Paolini.
 like the book. October 5, 2008

Got this book for my kids, they all like it. But it is a little lengthy, over all a good read. It lets your imagination goes wild.
 The End of the Innocence October 5, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Author Christopher Paolini deftly shows the maturation of Eragon in the third book of what appears to be an ongoing series in the Inheritance franchise.
The coming to terms with betryal, love, war, friendship and the wielding of power and its consequences are depicted in scenes designed to not only push the plot forward, but lead the reader of the past books to answers concerning the lives and actions of a variety of characters.
Though Paolini pens the series for children, there are lessons for adults to learn and appreciate....if they only open their minds to this universe of adventure and fantasy.
Exceptional, The best title in the Inheristance Series October 5, 2008

The first novel of the Inheritance series Eragon, was released in 2003. It quickly climbed to the best seller list as an easy to read yet interesting fantasy novel. Unfortunately for the Inheritance trilogy the second novel Eldest was not as spectacular as it read as a remake of Star Wars. Surprisingly Brisingr is an excellent book that is not only original, but better crafted then the other two.
Paolini's writing is stronger, his character's are more interesting, and the book is far more original then its predecessors. Brisingr's 750 pages fly by as creative and entertaining; as well as the best thing to ever happen the Inheritance cycle.
 Completely predicatable and linearly boring October 4, 2008

Tries to be ostentatiously wordy. Only parts of the book I enjoyed were the plot revelations, of that which are about 4 or 5 in this book. The rest is just fluff. And the ending is very anti-climatic and when you're finished you feel disappointed you spend so much time reading. But overall, the action was described well and I enjoyed reading the last two hundred pages...
I give it a 3 because I finished it and didn't totally hate it. Reader beware, you will be bored.
