I read like 100 pages, and was like "wtf, this is AWFULLY familiar..."

Then I looked it up on the internet to know how the rest of the plot unfolds. My fear war confirmed: it IS a blatant copy-paste of Star Wars into a fantasy setting. Honestly, I'm surprised the guy hasn't been sued by Lucas Arts for plagiarism (or did he?). Every single plot hook is the same as in the original trilogy.

The evil dude (I don't even know who the evil dude is) is his father?! The dragon and/or the elf chick is really his twin sister (how the heck would that even work)?! Wut?!?!?!

Probably because Lucas Arts don't want anyone thinking too carefully about where THEY got the plot for Star Wars from.

Did you read it?

If not, then indeed, the bad guy is his father. He was raised by his uncle. Which died while he was out discovering his dragon. As for the elf chick, I don't know, but if you look it up, you could surely find it.

Well, if he did copy it off somewhere else, it's not morally better, but at least it's not as blatant...

The evil guy isn't his father.  It turns out that his mentor, Brom was actually his father...

I don't care about who his daddy was! I just wanna know who the kid's twin sister was! Was it the elf chick? Or the dragon? Does he end up with the elf chick or dragon? Or whatever else? Is there anyone else? I thought he just had that elf chick or something, and the dragon met some other dragon that was the last of his kind and they were supposed to do something, but I never read far enough to find out. EragonxSaphira (Or whatever that blue dragon's name is) lololol

Well, I guess perhaps it isn't 100% plagiarism as I thought it was.

He also borrowed quite a bit from Tolkien and some other authors.

The 4th book of the trilogy (don't start) is out in stores now, I saw it yesterday.

FYI, he wrote the first book when he was 14. So give him a little credit. But the series is just a religous-political commentary, where the atheistic elves are the enlightened scientists who meditate and are all New Age-y, while the religious dwarves are foolish barbarians with superstitions. I read fantasy to escape reality, not read a commentary on reality.

Good for haven been written 14 year old doesn't mean good. I read for the worth of the book, not the author.

School lecture lists were littered with these things, though. Hardly any of the books I read in school were actually good, and these only came at the end anyways. It's like they take us for morons... -.-

How interesting, we just read Shakespeare for High School, oh and 1984 - Brave New World, stuff like that.

I thought this was a Dwilight thread!

Dwilight...So...some kid finds a "dragon" egg in Dragon's Roost, and er...Brom Silverfire all the way in PeL is the kid's father?

I knew the Lurians were up to no good.

Looks like hard evidence to me!

So who's the kid's twin sister that he doesn't know is actually his sister, and the jerk dude who ends up getting hooked up with his sister. This is all very important detail you know.
