Besides the frequent depiction of violence, one thing to be concerned about in the Inheritance Cycle (particularly book 2) is the focus on polytheism and atheism in the characters (Dwarves and Elves) that the main character spends time with.

This was better than eragon, but the author still is not the best, and he copies a lot from other books/movies like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. It is pretty violent, but not too different from many other books or movies. There is a big battle at the end. Also, in the village Carvahall, Roran is always smashing his enemies with a hammer whenever they get in his way, and this little boy kept stabbing a soldier even after he died becuase that boy was angry/sad because his dad was killed. I think in this one Saphira gets really drunk. But Eragon is a complete virgin and there is like no sex at all, except Saphira tries to mate with this other dragon (unsuccessfully...) and Eragon is in love with an elf even though she tells him off repeatedly.

i really loved this book as much as i loved eragon, but i noticed something in this book that hadnt been in the first. in one chapter, where an elf is talking to eragon, they are talking about beliefs, such as there is no God, etc. quite a few things were mentioned, and i was disappointed because it was made to look like the right point of veiw, and eragon leans toward this way, and that is a big influence on younger kids. personally i thought that the book didn't need that in there, but since it is, be prepared if you don't agree with it and read it before you give it to your kids.

This book is amazing. I am 13 and rarely read. But now I cant wait for the next book. Everyone will love this book.

kinda stupid

Looking at Eragon and then Eldest, these books state alot of beliefs and many conflicting sides to the story. I wonder how good the third and final book will be.....
