Brisingr and while I am at it Eragon and Eldest

Okay, I admit skimming over Eragon a while back...when it first came out. I watched the movie and thought, entertaining...and didn't think much about this series for a long time. Well, this summer, knowing that Brisingr was coming out, I decided to do the whole series...I listened to ERAGON...and I loved it. I will admit, if you have read a lot of fantasy you may see some themes or situations that look familiar to you...but it is good. Then, I thought, I will watch the movie again. Now I think the movie was HORRIBLE. No where near the book and no way of redeeming itself to go on to be a movie series. Someone will have to remake the first movie to get that to happen. Then I half listened to and half read ELDEST, also good...last night I finished BRISINGR and LOVED it!! I am saddened only by one thing...I have to wait for book four. The young man who wrote this series meant it to be a trilogy in the beginning but...it looks like a fourth will be coming. I don't want to give away the plot line...but for those of you reading the series...Eragon learns who his father really is...which was pretty amazing!! For you fantasy readers out there looking for a good series...this is it. You don't have to be a kid to enjoy it! It has dragons and magic and evil sorcerers and all of that fun stuff...you also have a kid who is growing up being a dragon rider, unlucky in love and learning about the world around him...I highly recommend this series!
