, 22:24, February 11, 2007→How I got Houghton Mifflin to fix the dustjacket
*Many aspects of Christopher's books are certainly original, and his writing is very good. My sister read the sequel to ''Eragon'', ''Eldest'' and really liked it and encouraged me to give it a try, so I read it rather reluctantly and was pleasantly surprised. Much of the derivative nature of ''Eragon'' has not been continued in ''Eldest'', it was was a very enjoyable read. Christopher Paolini was only fifteen when he wrote ''Eragon'', and I think his writing has gotten much better since then. Anyway, this is getting off topic so I'll be quiet now :) ~ [[User:SharonS|SharonS]] 15:30, 11 February 2007 (EST)

**It's not necessarily off-topic if someone wanted to add a section on writers who were influenced by ''The Lord of the Rings.'' [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 17:24, 11 February 2007 (EST)
*Don't you think the ''poetry'' in the Lord of the Rings ("Earendil was a mariner that tarried in Alvernion/He built a boat of timber felled in Nimbrethel to journey in," etc. is pretty awful, though? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 17:23, 11 February 2007 (EST)
