Wow: Eragon/Eldest
This Christopher Paolini guy is a great writer for so young. These books definitely rank up there with the Harry Potter series. I heard they making a films about these, so I hope they dont mess up. It almost as the books were made to be movies.

The big question for Paolini is whether or not he's a one-trick pony.

yeah if he can turn around and write something that doesnt involve fantasy fiction that might solidify him.

They seem to have a general audience, from what I have gathered.

How dare you compare these to Harry Potter!!!! Those suck!
Seriously though, Harry Potter is great an' all, but it has just never striked me very well, and I am a HUGE fantasy junkie. Eragon on the other hand, I fell in love with that book, I even finished Eldest before it came out. (Best Buy put it on shelves early in anchorage, as a good citizen I should have told them... But the book just looked so good!)
