ha hes so pissed off at the movie makers

Merkkyrr if you don't like the books then don't read them...its not that big of a deal and it's hard enough to think of original ideas for fantasy novels anyway...plus so what if another book inspired him, good for him!

They are awsome books but I can't help but think Paolini kinda needs to get a life.

sdhummer 3 years ago

Get a life ? He is a rich, famous writer. He already has a great life. It's not like he's some virgin basement dwelling, message board junkie. He's so successful at such a young age.

Whoa, dude. Enough already. Just post a link to Anti-Shurtugal.com or something instead of regurgitating half their arguments.

Anyway, this Paolini guy is mighty nerdy.

I'd like to thank Arget Hackslayer for the excellent plot summary, whether or no it originates from him, I don't want to be guilty in the same way Paolini is.

And by the way, Star Wars actually is partly depicted from our own history, history with Nazis and Germany(or stuff like that, it was a program on the History Channel. Everything made sense), and I doubt you would rant that movie for "ripping-off" history would you?

The boy is shocked and ultimately defeated, but not killed. He finds out that someone dear to him has been taken by evil people, and promises to find this person.

Now, is that the plot of Inheritance, or StarWars?

Merkkyrr 3 years ago

Aaand nobody cares. :)Write a fantasy novel that does not copy at least 1 fact from human history or movie plotlines or storybooks or legends(because out of all the fantasies in the world, and more being invented each day, I doubt you could create something entirely original.)

Good luck :)

Just when the boy is on a roll with his training, and has grown very powerful, he has a vision of his friends in great danger. He decides he must go to help them. His master warns him not to go. The boy promises that he will return. He leaves.

He finds his friends just in time and is able to distract the enemy so that his friends will remain safe. He finds out that his father was the right-hand man of the Emperor--his father was the one who betrayed the ancient order and helped kill them.

The boy has a hallucination of a powerful master who can teach him more of the ancient order. The boy travels to the powerful master to learn the ways of the ancient order's mystical power. While there, he grows very powerful. While he is away, the Rebellion regroups in a new area.

The boy proves his worth with heroics during the battle, but his crowning achievement is his destruction of a noun of much power that has the ability to destroy lots of things. The boy is aided in this by one of his friends, who arrives at precisely the right moment.

The boy is lauded a hero.

They then set off to the rebellion to give important information and return the object which the princess had sent the boy. They were followed by the Empire, and prepare for a giant battle that will either save the rebellion or annihilate them.

The boy decides that he needs to rescue her, even though he doesn't know her; further, he thinks of her only as beautiful (Luke's first words are, "Who is she? She's beautiful?" Eragon can't stop thinking about her beauty). Long story short, the old hermit dies to protect the boy, the boy and the rogue help the beautiful damsel escape.

As they travel, they train. The boy meets up with a rogue who is full of surprises, but turns out to be fiercely loyal, for all his proclaimed selfishness. The boy also begins "seeing" a beautiful woman imprisoned and in need of help.

This boy seeks the old man to learn of the ways of this ancient order, but eventually has to return to his uncle's farm, which, the boy finds, has been destroyed by fire, and his uncle killed. The boy then sets off with the old hermit, who also gives him a sword which belonged to his father.

Merkkyrr 3 years ago

Through fate or luck, depending on your point of view, this boy comes into the possession of an object vital to a rebellion against the Empire; this object was inadvertently sent to him by a princess in the rebellion, who had attempted to send said object to an old man who once belonged to the same order of guardians as the Emperor's right-hand man.

Read the following plot summary:

A boy of foggy origins lives with his uncle in a remote place of a vast empire headed by an evil Emperor and his right hand man, who was once prominent in an ancient order of guardians with mystical powers.

Here are a few examples of names stolen from Paolini.

Hrothgar- Beowulf

mithrim- Lord of the Rings

bid'daum = Muadib backwards- Dune

And the list goes on...

Merkkyrr 3 years ago

My biggest Gripe is that Paolini has stolen nearly every aspect of "his" story from other authors. And when I say stolen, I don't mean that he was inspired by the works of said other authors. Rather, he took the plot of Starwars(of all things) and not so carefully disguised it using a medieval setting and character and place names from OTHER STORIES!!!

Merkkyrr 3 years ago

With this he has proven the ineptitude of his imagination. He actually uses a statue of a dragon to describe saphira. So the even the dragon, the one, almost original element of his story, isn't really his.

Merkkyrr 3 years ago

What an arrogant jerk. He has written a by the numbers, nearly plaigarized story which while impressive for his age, does not constitute his being a literary genius.

I would not say that his books were amazingly good. I will concede that the first one at least had some entertainment value, even if it was a not so subtle rip off of starwars. The second however.... now there was one piece of preachy, nonsensical, juvenile piece of hypocrosy I could have gone without.

I want a large dragon statue...

...or maybe a large cat statue would work for me.

If Brom's story is interesting, it shouldn't matter that we know how it ends. Whether or not I would want to read it would depend upon if the story is interesting.

I liked how he pointed out the bit about the first Eragon both being and not being a Rider. He clearly thought about this.
