Jazzie's book recommendations: Eragon

I am currently reading the book "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini. It is a book about the young boy Eragon who finds a dragon egg and becomes entangled into an ancient story about Dragon Riders. And before he even notices, he is part of a big adventure and near to death more often than he had ever expected. With an old man from his village, who has a lot of secrets, Eragon begins his journey to take revenge and to fight the Empire.

The book is really exciting and once you start reading, it is hard for you to stop. Everything is more or less realistically written, so you don't think twice about upcoming dragons and monsters, it just seems natural that they're there. What I also like is that there is a map of the country Eragon lives in on the first two pages. It makes it easier to imagine his journey.

If you would like to read a book about a foreign world and if you like fantasy, you should really have a look at "Eragon".
