Emily's Musings

Eragon

Finished Eragon by Chrisopher Paolini, which I learned about from the library's mailing list when they started circulating copies. The author is an 18 year-old kid and the book has caused quite a sensation. I've read mixed reviews -- there's certainly nothing new in it, we could be in any number of other worlds like Middle Earth -- but I couldn't put it down. I'm hoping to pass it along to Eduard when he comes to visit in a couple of weeks, and will definitely pick up the next in the series when it comes out. I've certainly read better fantasy, but it was a good read.
