Destined to be a classic
I already owned this series having been a fan for many years. However, after seeing the movie Eragon my adult son who has learning problems and reads at a fifth grade level and never for pleasure, Asked for a copy of this series which I was more than happy to give him. He has been captivated by the strong characters and captivating imaginative plot and action. He actually looks foreward to reading in this book some each day and speaks of when he finishes, beginning reading it to his young son.
This is an excellent series for "stubborn" readers and fantasy enthisiasts.
