Overnight, his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders?
The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands....

"To read or not to read!"
Gerrard Doyle reads so excellently that I can imagine I am reading the book - as I did before getting the audio.
Stephen Fry does the same superb job of bringing a book - and its characters - to life in the Harry Potter series.
His dramatisation enabled me to follow at all times who was speaking when, and how they were feeling at the time.
It is too long (for me) to sit through in one sitting but I can imagine being alone on holiday and enjoying a virtual trip to the land of dragons and dwarves, elves and evil men through the audio book.
The book itself is slightly disappointing in leaving a few loose/unsatisfactory ends. yet how can one not, when concluding such an epic. I am glad I made this journey both by book and by audio.
"Standout story"
Great story, Chrisopher Paolini has a rare talent and Gerard Doyle makes the story come alive
Eragon, seeing how he has to grow up and mature to face the challenges he has to face.
no
"Amazing"
Best series ever!!!
The whole adventure of discovering the new world, and the sense of humour that Safira has.
Everything, he is a brilliant narator. Each caracter has their own voice, which is incredably suited for the specific caracter. The way that he narates bring acros the emotions and really enhances the story.
"Fantastic"
Yes it's a great story for teens or adults, my whole family loves this series, as always so much better than the movie.
"Brilliant"
This is one of my fav books.
The narrator is pretty good and the storyline is
