This book review was written by my 11 year old son, Marshall. Marshall is homeschooled and worked very hard writing and typing his article today. Positive feedback would be appreciated, as I will be sharing your comments with him. Enjoy!

If you have seen Eragon but didn’t read the books you’d probably think there’s no need to read the book because you saw the movie. But here’s the catch, you’re wrong. If you read the book it gives you way more details about the real story behind it all. Even though I haven’t even seen the movie, I know the books are better.
Have you read the Harry Potter books and seen the movies? If you have, you would know the books give a lot more detail than the movies. My advice is to stop watching TV and playing video games and start reading the Eragon trilogy, by Christopher Paolini, because you have a long way to go!

P.S. Don’t read ahead or skip chapters, because it will ruin the story and it won’t make sense.
