Story4.5 out of 5 stars 460
When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Overnight, his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance.

Good narration, But bad character portrayal.
Reviewed: 27-06-2017
Eragon is a childhood favorite of mine. this is a good narration of the story, however I felt eragon was portrayed too whiney; asking questions to complain rather than out of curiosity. Saphira is also voiced with a deep growling voice, Which would be fine if she actually spoke the words. The dragons could be voiced with more nuance and personality if they sounded more like people.
