About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Gerrard Shale's reading turns this magnificent adventure into a thrilling audiobook for fans of all ages.

When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.
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...

This book is an achievement. Readers will be transported
A portrayal of true affection between boy and dragon - Paolini writes like someone gripped by his own story

Christopher has created a complex and fascinating world in this first book of his Eragon trilogy . . . Filled with history, ancient tales, magic, magical creatures, and with a superbly crafted story "Eragon" is sure to delight many lovers of fantasy tales
It's a story of mystery, excitement and magic . . . A riproaring story (also featured in Haverhill Echo)
This is an action-packed fantasy adventure that will appeal to both adults and younger readers
My 12-year-old son loves fantasy and adventure novels, and after reading Eragon on his suggestion, I now understand why: this book creates an alternate world... Emerging out of it to face ordinary life in 2006 London is a startling wrench

So I'm aware people don't like the book because of obvious LOTR and Star Wars references. I'm aware this isn't a literary phenomenon which shook the world, but I enjoyed it then (in my teens) and I enjoyed it now.

It's got magic and elves and dragon. Now when I don't have the time to read fiction stories anymore, I really appreciate this audiobook. I'm going to finish the series now.

Coming back to the book, I enjoyed the fast paced story and the characters of Murtagh and Obi Wan, I mean Brom.

Did I mention about the dragons? I want to read about the elves Gandalf and the dragons.

Yes I'm aware...but dragons.
