The post of epic-ness!!...its actually really not that epic, but still.

        Christopher Paolini, author of the inheritance series. I admire him not because of his books (okay mostly his books) but because of his determination. He was only 15 when he wrote the first draft of ERAGON, which is amazing. He was home schooled in Paradise Valley, Montana by his parents who submersed him in the world of reading and writing. The mountains of the surrounding area inspired his great tale. One of the characters in the book was based on his younger sister, Angela. He went around to schools and libraries promoting the book. During these promotions he would dress in a costume which consisted of “[a] red shirt, billowy black pants, lace-up boots, and a jaunty black cap.” Personally I believe that would be a very amusing sight to behold. http://web.archive.org/web/20071023065737/http://www.alagaesia.com/christopherpaolini.htm

"I had three things about the book I especially liked.  First, when Arya was in the book, I liked the interaction between her and Eragon better.  There wasn’t that “are we friends, or not” stuff that kept going through “Eldest.”  In my opinion I think she should just admit she’s in love with him and get it over with.  But, I’m not the one writing the story.  Second, I predicted after “Eldest” that Brom was going to be Eragon’s father, not Morzan.  And I was right!!  (I so love being right.)  It just always seemed that it made more sense for Brom to be his father.  And third, I loved the whole search for a sword thing.  I was a little disappointed with how the ”find the weapon under the Menoa tree” went (it seemed a little anticlimactic), but then when they made the sword, I liked how it all worked out.  And the name of the sword and what it does are awesome." http://shariwrites.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/book-review-brisingr-by-christopher-paolini/
