Rating:  - Pros and Cons
I have yet to finish the book, but I have a general idea of how Paolini's writing stands. Take this review with a grain of salt.
The good:
Differentiation of cultures is distinct and believable.
The political tensions between the cultures is excellent.
Nasuada, Roran, Elva, and Saphira are well planned, interesting characters.
Combat scenes are both descriptive and exciting, the best of both worlds.
His writing style is easy to follow.

Rating: - Excellent Book
Brisingr is an exellent installation to the Eragon series, it was easy to fall right back into the swing of the story and even pick up basicly right where I left off thanks to the great synopsis that was included to refresh what happened in Eragon and Eldest. I agree that a good fantasy novel is one that you don't want to put down, one that draws you into its plot and causes you to forget about your everyday life. If you are one that enjoys that you'll love Brisingr AND the rest of the Inheritance ... Read More
Rating: - Cover...
I pre-ordered this book for my boyfriend who is still in the middle of it, as he says that Eldest was better. When the book arrived, we opened the box and noticed that the jacket of the book didn't have the title printed on the front or the spine. The jacket cover only has the dragon on it, and no words. Did anyone else recieve a copy like this?
Thanks
Rating: - Engaging Read

Brisingr, however, finally marks where Paolini grows into a more mature writer with his action and story telling ability.
New welcome twists appear and we finally meet (through Murtagh) Galbatorix. Yes, it is a classic and somewhat predictable plot, but it was a fulfilling ... Read More
Rating:  - Riviting
I was introduced to Eragon by my little brother while I was my parents on vacation. I began reading it from lack of anything else to do and was hooked. When Eldest came out I devoured it in short order as well. I was disappointed when I got to the end of Eldest and found out I would have to wait. I still how ever found this book enthralling and didn't want to put it down the whole time I was reading it. I had to know what happened next. Many of these reviews slam this book pretty hard but you have to ... Read More
