“Eragon” has made and has set some new standards to compare everything else with them as well. Not only a very good and a very impressive book but this one is on a whole new level. You are going to find the young adult, dystopian, as well as the bildungsroman within this same book. The movie that was made would have been a huge success if the film makers had stayed true to the characters in the book.A lot of the books are there in the market having a lot of the genres but some of them are the combination of some very different genres just like the one we are talking about. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Ĭome and experience the re-birth of a legend and one man's journey from innocent farm boy to fierce Dragon Rider The scene where Saphira and Eragon drink too much mead and Saphira belches a huge flame before passing out The whole world that you are introduced to, the magic, elves, dwarfs, dragons and intrigues are thoroughly enjoyable. I enjoyed how you share Eragons journey from simple farm boy to Dragon Rider and I love Saphira's development and the sense of humour and possessiveness she has for Eragon. Gerrard Doyle has a beautiful voice and the life he instills in his characters makes thems so much more real - and there are quite a few. Yes, this is an audio book I will listen to over and over again as well loved characters come to life. I wonder if Anne McCaffrey ever read Eragon? The story and so many things in this book are obviously inspired by Tolkiens' works, but done with a obvious love of the original source and with just the right spin to make it his own world, an incredible feat for any author let alone a 16 year old novice (I believe that's how old Mr Paolini was when he finished Eragon).I look forward to sharing this book with my children as they grow older as it is a fine addition to anyone who loves Dragons and the bond they can have with their riders.
Loved the portrayal of Brom, loved the character in the movie as portrayed by Jeremy Irons (a most underutilised actor) and it was great to see him fleshed out in the book and greatly portrayed by Gerrard.
Which character – as performed by Gerrard Doyle – was your favorite? A good start to what appears to be a great Fantasy series. I quite enjoyed the story and loved the narration by Gerrard Doyle. Would you listen to Eragon - Part One again? Why?
