Okay, first off, to be fair I have not actually read Eldest yet, but I have it in my possession and am currently trying to decide whether to read that or Dead Zone, which is the first Stephen King book that I have read and which, 30 pages in, is already incredibly good. See, I really want to read something good, cause the Da Vinci Code didn't really live up to my expectations and the Otherland books were so fucking good. I don't know, maybe some people were actually able to believe all that shit about the holy grail, but I was unable to be fooled like that. Oh well.
Anyway, I just have to say that the first eragon book was a total rip off on Star Wars and no matter how that paolini dick tries to defend himself, I can poke holes in his arguements. Sure, I've borrowed tidbits from here and there, but the only really noticeable thing (i think, i can't really remember any more) is that I borrowed "shadowslayer" from a poem in one of the newer Redwall books (I think it was Loamhedge, but I can't remember). So, I suppose that there really isn't any reason to point out every example from the damn book cause that would take too long, so I'll just leave it as it is, though I will say I am going to go into Eldest completely unbiased, sorta. Let's see if he redeems himself. And if not, well there's no way that after 2 books I won't be able to read the 3rd.
