I wasn't awfully

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Eragon
I wasn't awfully...

I wasn't awfully impressed. They were sort of draggy... I didn't make it past the first book, and that took me forEVer to read. Saphira was rather irksome, Paolini killed the best character (Brom) before the series was even halfway written, and it was all unoriginal. And way too verbose. Can we have another page of description regarding the exact appearance of that elfish tunnel thing?

Does anyone agree, or have a believable argument for enjoying them?
