Ratings and reviews

Says that Eragon might be an elf because he has pointed ears when in the book it's obviously explained that in eldest he has pointed ears first because of his bond with Saphira and then the speed strength and appearance of an elf from the blood oath celebration. Dost show anything that the reader couldn't learn from reading the quadrilogy.

I think this guy lied and did not actually read eragon or eldest. it clearly says in eldest that eragon is not an elf.

You're better off buying the official Inheritance Cycle series and reading it than spend money on this drivel.
