EliminateHRN Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm not sure if a thread for these books have been made yet. I really don't care. :? Anyone here read these books? The series consists of Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and a 4th book to be released in (hopefully) near future. I was always a big fan of dragons and I was hooked on to the book right when I started reading these books. I'm currently re-reading them as well. Discuss. Oh, and don't dare watch the movie for it. It sucked so bad, I'm not even calling it a movie based on the books (it is based on them, but it's so unlike the book). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I read halfway through the book and stopped because it was the school's library book and I had to return it. And I watched the movie. Which it could've been longer but meh it beats reading anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eury Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 4th book needs to come out NAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliminateHRN Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 @Eurynome: Agreed. Is there even a title for it? Hopefully, it won't take as long as Brisingr did. @Princess Kitty: The movie wasn't anything liked the book. So bad they can't even make a second one because of it. Plus, the actors sucked in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 When to they ever make a movie just like the book? All movies who are based off of fictional books suck. The non-fictional biographies that are made into movies are too boring to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsiders movie was probably the closet movie adaption I'll ever watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another book that I hope they don't try to turn into a movie is the Warrior Cat Series. I fear that it may suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliminateHRN Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I love this book series. Same. :] I have no idea what's my favorite book in the series is. The author (forgot his name and don't want to look it up) has gotten better writing in each book. I know in the latest one, in one whole paragraph there was like very few sentences. I had to take a breath on some. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find it interesting to hear what others are reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelda_tp_fan Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 ZOMG! I love the series... I got about 10-15 minutes into the movie and had to stop watching it before I hurt someone... That was, by far, the worst thing I had ever seen... And I've seen a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliminateHRN Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I watched the whole thing. And I can't say it was horrible. It just wasn't great. If you never read the book, then it'll be a good movie. However, if you did read the book, then it wouldn't be as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Shore Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Fantastic series, its somewhat cliche, but really well done, very exciting, and I love the way they made the magic work. It's pretty much a dream fantasty novel, it's one of those things that it's like "hey, that's exactly what I want to read" The movie was an abomination.

Poseidon© Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I read halfway through the book and stopped because it was the school's library book and I had to return it.

CrabHelmet Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I read the first book and half of the second, then dropped the series. The entire thing was just Star Wars in a generic fantasy setting - not in the sense that both cover The Hero's Journey, but in the sense that every single plot element is ripped straight from Star Wars - and the "hero" was infinitely less sympathetic than the "villains".
