Eragon (Inheritance Cycle Series #1)
I actually started with Eldest - Book 2... That was an ordeal... jumping in the middle of the story not knowing who the characters were. Lesson learned: Don't think that just becasue its a fantasy, it will be light reading.Reading this clarified a lot of questions for me. Its an entertaining novel, the second one as well... the third one, I still havent read it... I'll get to it sooner or later.
