====Christopher Paolini, author of the Inheritance series, took me into his made up world of Alagaësia in his third book, Brisingr. Through out this book, you are taken through the life of a young dragon rider named Eragon and hes adventures as he discovers his heritage and the history of his family. Everything fine detail in this book has a huge significance in what you read later into the book. I think this book, along with the rest of the Inheritance series, is well made and is a great read.====

====This book always had something going on. From the beginning to the end, I found myself engaged in the story and was always interested in what would happen next. Christopher Paolini has an interesting way of of making his books intreging to his readers. Almost every chapter switches perspectives from character to character. This made the plot never stop going. There are even chapters in the book where its in the dragon, Saphira's, point of view. Mostly what makes this type of writing enjoyable, is when a character was involved in a fight scene, which happened a lot, I felt like I always knew what they where thinking, but I had no insight into what others thought, so it kept me on my toes constantly. Even though it might seem boring to some people, whenever there was no action, Christopher Paolini gave everything in such vivid detail, that you feel like you were there with that character seeing and feeling what they saw and felt.====

====Even though this book is really well written and keeps you on your toes, I wouldn't suggest any children under the age of thirteen to read it because their were moments when I was reading when the story didn't give any reasoning to what a character did or a solution to what had just happened to a character. With many of these sudden cliff hangers, although they kept me interested, they also kept straying my thoughts back to that event not letting me focus on what ever I had read after that. This is probably the only downfall in this book, but still I got lost in its pages.====

====To make the book even better and what got me so caught up in the story was the fact that Christopher Paolini took the time to create whole other languages for the different races of the world. This factor in the book related to the real world so much, even though all of it is completely fictional. Along with the languages there were many different animals and races with different outlooks on life. My favorite is the concept that all living things are connected to eachother in some way and every life is sacred.====

====I loved reading this book and the whole time I read it, I felt like I was actually there and knew the characters. I recommend this book to anyone who is wiling to sit down and get lost in a wonderful story.====
