You aren't kidding...and all those people who say Paolini "stole" his books from the Lord of the Rings? Just shut up! If you don't like them, then don't read them! It's that simple.
honestly the people who said Paolini stretched it out, haven't read LoTR.
People look for an excuse to criticize the best ideas and the out-of-ordinary people. Paolini was very young and wrote a best-selling series that they made into a movie.
The movie doesn't compare to LOTR though
eeek. lets just not talk about the movie because... BLAHHHHH it sucked so bad. I have mentally blocked it out.
I don't really know what to say because I love both Lord of the Rings and the Inheritance Series. However, having said that I have never once compared them because the plot is quite different, as well as the way they write. Paolini as you watch his style it changes from book to book. Personally I enjoyed Eragon the most, because Paolini wasn't trying to focus on telling the story from the perspective of other characters. I felt that it was too many characters. It should have stayed simply with Roran and Eragon, and by extension Saphira.
Many books and games are LOTR inspired. I think inheritance is one of them.
at least CP has the time to make his own language for the dwarves.
Apparently,he had time to make a lot of languages.
I keep reading reviews that hate on Paolini so much for dragging out the series and how his writing can't compare to tolkiens. I personally like polini's inheritance cycle more because of the dragging out of the inheritance cycle.
Honestly, he has built deep meaning in all of the characters and put a lot of information behind the plot. I have invested so much more emotion in all of the characters in the inheritance cycle because of the great detail Paolini uses!! People should just not read them if they're more into LOTR or if they can't have an open mind about new books. OK that is all.
