My girlfriend has been bugging me to read this for at least two years and finally I did!
A great first installment into a YA fantasy tale, we follow Eragon, our 'chosen one'. He is the first dragon Rider after an age of them all dying out after a great war. Eragon finds a dragon egg, sees it hatch and secretly helps the dragon to grow up as he lives on a farm with his family. But soon, he is terrorized by enemies driving him away from all he knows. He is thrust into a plot where all want to use them for their own goals and he has to decide who to side with.
