"Yeah, yeah... Uh, well, we can tackle the question about the pronunciation in a second."

Such pomposity from such a nerdy little twerp. You'd think he would be grateful that someone wanted to interview him at all, rather than saying, "No, you dunce. You're butchering the languages! And that's my job!"

[WalkingHazy]

@StanDellone Why does that make you think he isn't grateful?

[neyo509]

i think roran might be more closely related to eragon then we once thought.

[WalkingHazy]

@neyo509 Thats what I was thinking

[fordgt90X]

why did you use clip shots of the movie? this movie was awful and a disgrace towards chris paolini.

[WalkingHazy]

@fordgt90X What else could I have used? He said he liked the movie.

[tombstone312]

it would be awesome if he wrote a book about the fall from brom's perspective :)

[StanDellone]

@WalkingHazy I'm sure that he is grateful. He has to be. What I should have said is that his gratitude ought to have been enough to stop his pompous, "I'm an author and this is my world, so respect it" mentality from coming out. He just needs to bite his tongue.

It's like if you're at someone's house and they cook you dinner, and you say, "Yeah, nice try. But it could use more ginger and basil. And you call this a red wine reduction? Please..."

May your literature stay dull.

[dekead]

I'm rereading the trilogy before Inheritance comes out and I have completely skipped a lot of nasuadas chapters. I just don't care for her like I do for eragon and roran

[swordebrithil12]

@tombstone312 Brom is my absolute favorite character in the whole series, seeing things from his perspective would be awesome!

[swordebrithil12]

These pictures are not boring Saphira rocks!!!!

[Zzoee211]

Aw! I loved what he said about his parents. They must all be close...

[MaxRide714]

I'm glad he didn't kill off Sloan cuz then we wouldn't have the awesome "skug-backed cheek biter" line!

YEEEEESSS!!!!!!! MORE MURTAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
