Roran??? lol...Coz it had to be someone we knew...

same here... hehe! i really have no idea what will happen in the future with them. i really liked the dragons... the way he writes about them is very innovative, and it makes it loooads more interesting than some fantasy, which can end up being a colourless mix of orcs, magic, and quests.

any idea when the 3rd one comes out? i still have no idea...

Yeah I know, they're just really, really good books, amazing that he started writing Eragon at the age of 15...that's me in 21 days!!!

Umm...I think people have been saying end of 1007/early 2008.

Hi!javascript:emoticon(':D') I'm new here. I'm in the middle of reading Eragon, so when I saw a thread about it I was surprised. javascript:emoticon(':eek:') I don't want to give anything away to people who haven't read it, but if you have, I'm at the part where Brom goes bye-bye. If I accidently gave it away, I have 6 words for you. Please don't go insane at me!javascript:emoticon(':cry:') WOW. javascript:emoticon(':o') It took me 3 tries to get the # of words wright. That's sad.javascript:emoticon(':(')

I haven't read the book but I liked the movie. I think it's better to watch the movie first and not get disappointed, like I was with GoF. Now everyone will start reading Eragon like Harry Potter. Harry Potter gained in popularity after the movie and so will Eragon.

I doubt it, the movie has recieved very bad reviews for good reason, not only is the continuity bad (Saphira's armour was full face before she put it on and only covered her forehead afterwards) but it was awfully rushed in that towards the end it changed between night and day very fast many times and also the dragon grew up in the space of one flight and they crossed then entire land in the space of about 3 days along with a side trip back to almost where they started to rescue the elf.

And the flying thing Durza rode in the battle was just wrong, very wrong indeed.

As my boyfriend pointed out, the huge displays to promote the film in cineworld (big pictures of each character) revealed very basic photoshop errors in that the patterns on the swords were photoshopped on straight even though the blade was angled so there was a triangular gap between the end of the pattern and the sword hilt and the pattern wasn't finished, it was just a sction cut out of a larger piece.

Then of couse there is the total abscence of any of the book plot.

They took no care over making the movie at all.

Wait untill you read the book...lol

Its worse than the thought of Arwen wearing pink at the battle of Helm's Deep....thankfully that didn't happen of course cos Peter Jackson is nicer than whoever directed Eragon.

Eragon was....*says a couple of swear words*

I LOVE those books...I'm not going to bother watching Eldest (if they make it) because the storyline is ruined...
