Ive never read any Wheel of Time books, I always here about it but dunno what its bout. *shrugs* So I dunno if Rorans a copy. he may not be an exact copy but the refrences are obvious for those who have read WoT. Situations he is put into for one, and then his choice of weaponry and profession, and discription. It REAAAAALLLY bugs me. |

I voted for eldest because I mean, to me it caught my attention better than Eragon. it took me 2 days for both of them. on the poll their really should be one that says "the next book will be even better" .

I voted Eldest.
Eragon was better then Eldest in the sense that a lot happened to keep you riveted. It was fast paced and exciting. Eldest also has a lot of lengthy, unnecessary imagery.
However, Eldest still won out for me in the end because it is all about maturing and growing up. It takes a lot of talent to mature a character throughout a book, and Eldest does just that. Also, it really fleshed out the world of Algaesia. While it may have been a bit lengthy at times, at least it wasn't like Eragon, which left TOO much to the imagination.
In the end all came down to the fact that Eragon was too young in the first book. He seemed like a little kid. To me, he was much more reachable in the second book, where he and Roran really learned about life and what it's all about. When something bad happened in the first book, I became excited because it meant action. In the second book, when something bad happened, I felt my heart break with Eragon. To me, that is the sign of a great writer.
