I am in the middle of the book, Eragon, and I am LOVING it!!! I think it's one of the best books ever!!!:D Has anyone here read it? (I'm sure you guys have!) It's written by a 15-yr-old, and there's 2 more books of the trilogy still to come out! I love it, 'cause it's about dragons, magic and fantasy...exactly my thing! But wow, I'm just buzzing through it, and I can't put it down!:)
I really liked it too. :) I read it in 6th grade. I've heard that it's going to be a trilogy and possibly a movie, too.
I know! The second book, Eldest is coming out this summer!! Yay!!:D Oh, and there might be movies?? Awesome!:)Quote:

I've never read this book, but I met the author of it. He was really nice and polite. Wasn't anything like I thought he was going to be.
Wow! I knew the sequall was gonna be coming out August 23, but I had no idea there was going to be a movie. :) I can't wait. Well... I don't know, actually. I really hope the movie doesn't ruin the book!
Yea, just what I was thinking...:p:)Quote:

I've read it, it's a really good book. I'll definitely have to read the sequel.
Eragon is like my fave book i coulnt put it down when i was reading it and ive read ti about 12 times(literally)
I loved that book! I can not wait for the sequel to come out. Karen, you are so lucky that you already got it!
My son and I both love Fantasy / SciFi, and we have both read and loved Eragon. we are 3rd on a waiting list from our library as soon as they get their copy of Eldest - but I'm thinking of buying it.
If you all liked this dragon story - have any of you read the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey? Classic dragon stories!
or if you like magic,
the Abhorson, Sabriel and Lirael? a magic trilogy? ( can't remember the author.) also VERY good.
if you liked 'Eragon', any of the above might 'occupy' you pleasantly while waiting for 'Eldest' to show up!?

I never heard about that book, but It must be really good!! I want to read it!!! But I think I won't find it here in Buenos Aires.......... :(
I just bought the book. I haven't started reading it yet, but I can't wait. I haven't read a children's book...well...since I was a child. I haven't even read the Harry Potter series!
I cannot believe the book was written by a 15 year old! That is amazing!
Eldest ius excellent. I don't know how much more I can say without giving stuff away from the first book, but Eldest was excellent!
Woo!! I can't wait till it comes out. :D Thanks Karen. :)

Ooh, is Dancer a good book? What's it about? (I'm always looking for new good books, lol!):D
Thanks! LOL! I'm looking forward to reading it, I totally ZIP through books so it shouldn't be too long...
Dancer is so far really good. I'll post what it says on the back of the book! :)
LOL, That was LOTS of writing!Quote:
Hilary James ('Mousie') is just sixteen when she wins The Fuller Trophy as the Royal Winter Fair jumping with her horse, Dancer. Her triumph is rewarded with an invitation to perform in England for Queen Elizabeth, but she has also attracted unwanted attetion of teh nefarious Samuel Owens who schemes to acquire Dancer for his niece, Sara. Rebuffled in his first attempt to buy the horse, Owens instructs his hired man, Chad Smith, to try to still it. Mousie has a dream which a beautiful blond horsewoman warns her of impending danger.
'Dancer, has the adventure story of a girl and her horse, began as a dream a number of years ago while [author] Shelley Peterson was in Prague, Czechoslovakia. One night she awoke from a vivid dream of a girl and her horse. Most of us would wake up and forget it. Not Shelley. She wrote it down. And then she wrote some more and then more.' Lian Goodall, In the Hills
'Dancer is an enjoyable and exciting page-turner which emcompasses every horse-loving teenage girl's dream: success in the show ring with a magnificent stallion, a puzzling mystery, and even a handsome love interest. This book is sure to delight and intrigue any reader.' Susan Jane Anstey, publisher. Horse Sport Magazine
Oooh, it sounds really good!! I'll havta see if our library has it!!:D;)
I've read over 100 pages of this book. I can't put it down!
