 Loved this book. November 23, 2008
I loved this book. It's great for all ages. Can't wait for the next one.
 Horrible! Just Horrible! November 21, 2008

"Brisingr," the third in the "Inheritance Cycle," is yet another example of the Devil's plot to corrupt the minds of everyone on Earth. As ludicrous as this might sound, it is true. The Bible specifically says that Satan works to deceive people, especially in the Last Days, in which we now find ourselves.
"Brisingr" is a bad book that does no one any good by reading it. Like my reviews said of the previous two books, it hurts people who read it. Maybe not right away or in ways you can tell, but certainly in eternal ways and in the long-run. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing!
 Brisingr November 21, 2008
If you want to finish the story, it's a given. But the writing continues to be kind of immature in its character and plot development. And now the series is being extended to a fourth book. Lucrative surely; necessary, no.
fire! November 21, 2008
wasnt expecting it to be so great!
so, i got the book just cause i hate not having finished a series i have started. it will irk me to no end. but oh my, what a surprise, the first chapter had me and for the rest of the week i read it eagerly. i was especially loving the morbid parts for some reason, especially that first chapter, it really hooked me.
... shame on me, i had forgotten how much i had enjoyed eragon and eldest.
i am very pleased with 'brisingr'. paolini does not dissapoint.
i loved reading nasuadas and rorans storys, i was very surprised to see that the book did have more than eragons perspective, i dont recall if the other books did that or not?... and i enjoyed the snippets of a dragons view!
hmm, i do believe that harry potter 7 has somewhat wounded me. when i found out that roran had his own storys throughout the book 'brisingr' i pleaded with each of his storys 'please dont kill him. please dont kill him. NOT LIKE FRED, DONT DO IT PAOLINI!'
well, youll just have to read to find out if roran lives or not.
Oh, yes! probally like many of you, i watch 'the seeker' on sundays. and yes, it does remind of eragon very much, there are similarities. but im not nettled by it. their just influences. eragon is great and original in its own right.
and i enjoyed the authors note at the end. very endearing. and the dictionary was a bonus!
oh, and i thought eragon the movie was ok. no, i admit it, i liked it alot! but, yes, it left parts out that play out in the second and third book, but i believe they can still make the second movie...
i hope they do.
anyways, enjoy brisingr!
The Party's Over November 21, 2008
I read the first book and really liked it. I read the second book and thought it was okay, though a bit uneven. I forgave it because the author went from a kid to an adult in that time and there are many forces at work there.
I got the third book and tried to read it. I stopped. I waited. I tried again after a few weeks. I slogged through nearly 400 pages before I said to myself "if you have to SLOG through why read it" and thus I stopped.
The book's writing is not as good as the previous two. Oddly, it's TECHNICALLY better but the result lacks something. I think it's, oh, self-indulgent more than anything.
It's sad. I'm sure the book sold lots of copies. And it's getting lots of good reviews here, but the people I know who've read it are all let down, though most made it to the end and then were irritated to find out the this Trilogy is going to be a foursome. None plan to read it.
