So this series starts off with a new concept with dragons and riders... if you watched the Eragon movie you didn't miss much. I think what impresses me the most is that Chris was just a teenager when he wrote Eragon. I think this is good teenage reading.
Good in that, it didn't make me want to puke, it actually had a plot, and wasn't completely predictable.
Chris really hits his stride in the following books. The plot only gets better and more interesting. The originality of the dragon background and exposition is great. While I did find some characters boring and read through their parts as fast as possible to get to the good stuff, I understood why it was in there.
I would suggest this for a good teenage sci-fi read when you don't have a mind-blowing book available. These books were good reads but they were not "Omg, i have to finish this and find out what happens next" books.
Cross reference like-ability: I like the John Flanagan Series better, but if you liked the Ranger's apprentice Series then you would like this series.
