Katrina's Book Review ~ Eragon, by Chrisropher Paolini

In Aagaesia, a fifteen-year-old boy of unknown lineage called Eragon finds a mysterious stone that weaves his life into an intricate tapestry of destiny, magic, and power, peopled with dragons, elves, and monsters. It's definitely worth reading through, I give this book a 9 out of 10.
