Now, what are you waiting for?

Has someone ever given you a book you just can't find time to read? That happened to me with "Eragon" and "Eldest". I liked the story, as summed up in the cover, but a lot of the reviews I had previously read about the series were awful, mostly criticizing the style of its author, Christopher Paolini, or saying that these bookS were just an imitation of others, for example the books in the "Lord of the Rings" series.

I must confess that I let those comments get to me, and I always found something else to read before tackling the books included in this box set. That is, until I watched the movie, loosely based on the book of the same name written by Paolini. It wasn't spectacular, but it had something special that made you care for Eragon, a young man like many others that ends up discovering a dragon's egg, and changing his destiny and that of Alagaesia.

"Eragon", the film, was a good introduction to Paolini's world, a world of magic and dragons, elves and strange creatures. All the same, I wanted more, so I went straight to the source. I picked up the book that had been waiting patiently for me and started reading. I read it in a day, without stopping, enjoying the fact that Paolini's story was much, much better than what the film had allowed me to glimpse, and that I was on holidays and could allow myself the luxury of reading the whole book without having to stop and go to work :)

Of course, reading "Eragon" was not enough, and immediately after finishing it I started reading "Eldest". Truth to be told, I liked it just as much or more. "Eldest" picks up where "Eragon" ended, and allows us to know what is happens with Eragon, Saphira and their friends, and what they need to do in order to survive the wrath of king Galbatorix.

All in all, I can say that I loved "Eragon" and "Eldest", and that I strongly recommend it to others, specially those that (disregarding their age) have lots of imagination. On the practical side, buying this box set is a good idea because it is cheaper, and will save you some time you could spend reading. Now, what are you waiting for?

PS: To Christopher Paulini --> Please hurry up with the last book in this triology, I really want to know what happens next :)

Must have books for family library

These two books are a must-have for a family library. Like the Harry Potter series they are very imaginative and addicting for readers of every age. Books like this make readers out of non-readers and offer hours of family conversation.

Good Thing I Bought Them Together!!!

I have owned these books for a long time but have never gotten the time to read them. I decided though that I should read them but I decided to watch the movie first, because a lot of the reviews said you would just like the movie as it is unless you read the book. So I decided to like the movie as much as I could while I had the time. I was so caught up with the book that I finished it in 4 days!!!! Luckily, I owned Eldest already so as soon as I finished Eragon, I picked up Eldest and started reading it. I loved this series and cannot wait until the third one!!! I especially cannot wait because of the news you hear in the book and how it abruptly ends. I have always thought this series was cool because in the first book you find out that they are 2 other dragon eggs that have not hatched. Then in the second book, You find out about a gold dragon and then later the second dragon egg is hatched bringing a red dragon. Galabotorix now wants Eragon and Saphira because Saphira is the only girl dragon left and he wants her to mate with the third egg to bring a whole new race of dragons. I still cannot get over the news you hear in the ending of Eldest!!!!!

YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!!!!!
