the only one I've read from your list is Eragon, and I loved it but agree the first chapter was hard to get into. Get past Chapter 1, and it is a great book. I've already pre-ordered book 2 in the series, Inheritance. I plan on rereading it in August to be ready for the next book.

Yeah same here all I've read is Eragon, it is rather boring at the beginning but once you get into it it's really awesome, but not as good as HP!!! :grin:

Phoenix, you're right...the next one is Eldest, not Inheritence like I called it in my last post. I don't know where I got that from...lol! It's due out in the end of August I think. I pre-ordered it from Amazon.com and the date it should arrive at my house is Sept 3-7.
