I personally, love the book, but i also don't want to get in an arguement with you.
I'm not at all good at explaining why i like things or don't like things, so I guess I can't really comment.
All I know is I love this book and I am currently reading it for a second time

P.S.
Don't double post

well everyone is alowed a opinion and aslong as you dont try and force it on us then i have no problem with the way you feel...but i think you should give it another go

no you shouldn't, it's against the rules.

I think its a good book but everyone can have their own opinions.

but if oyu dont like the book then this is the wrong forum for you

well it is your porogative

1) It is a literary imitation, an average one at that.
2) It lacks a proper storyline, and many of it seems adapted from other books.

explain please

Sure, I agree with a couple points and believe you're entitled to your opinion. But you are deeply disturbed. What kind of person just goes online and searches for a forum just to tell all the fanboys\fangirls that the books they treasure is crap? How much of a loser do you have to be to waste even a second to go online and find a forum about something you don't like just to tell people you don't like it? And if you hated this book OH SO MUCH, why did you continue reading it? I've dropped tons of books once I realized they weren't getting better. And if you plan on reading book 3, that means you've read book 2. So if you hate these books so much, why read them all? Obviousley you want to find out how it ends, in wich case these books are good. If you didn't like them, you wouldn't care about how it ends. I get ticked off when people say they hate something, but still stick with the series. Are you guys just following them just so you can say how much they suck later? If that's the case, you can shove these books down your throat. Your mouthes certainly big enough.

Sorry if I sound rude.

you can, but i don't think the movie will be half as good as the books

[quote="did i like it? no."][size=9]I think I'll watch the movies. If Paolini redeems the storyline in the third book, I will eagerly await it.[/size][/quote]

How is the story line bad it leaves harry potters story line in the dust (although i like it but not nearly as much.) If u don't like a book how will watching the movie make it better movies are worse then books.

Did i like it? no, read my sig it should tell you what i want you to do

I really dont care what you think, but this is the wrong forum for you

Like what most other people said to you, leave.

But i do have a suggestion for you: suicide.

Over half of America disagrees with you. Was a bestseller for a week or more.

And why suicide Orik?

If he has the time to post "I hate this book" on every saphira forum, Suicide may help him.

Wow, uh. Why did you just do that? Personally, I love the books. You could have posted something like that on a book discussion website, but on a fan forum? Please, get lost. Maybe Eragon is similar to some other novels, what book isn't like some other one? People go through the same experiences and media and entertainment influences everyone. Of course, people get similar ideas.

Don't flame him just because he has a different opinion!!! Gosh! He was being open-minded. And perhaps he's sticking with the series because he's hoping it'll get better for him. (Notice I'm saying FOR HIM - I personally think Eragon is awesome.) timmaster6 pretty much summed it up - he can have an opinion as long as he doesn't try to force it on us.

Did I like it? no: I'm glad you're open, but this isn't the best location to criticize Eragon. Obviously. You might have found a better place. And if you don't like the books, there is no reason for you to be posting here, among those that do.

she means dont post twice right next to each other


and what kind of super nerd are you to join a forum just so you can say "i didnt like it"

not a very good one..... It just something new, with dragons that rock, and its just awsome!

Yeah, if I didn't like Eragon, I would just go to that anti-Eragon website we were all ragging on a couple of weeks ago to say how bad it was. If I were this person, I would do one simple thing. Want to know what it is? [size=9][/size]I would get a life.

Guys I am shocked. This forum is about being an community, regardless of people's opinons. I haven't been here long but this guy has some points he believes are valid. And like someone posted, don't flame him for having a differring opinion to your own. Not only is it against the law it is extremely rude and giving not only Christopher Paolini a bad name your giving the forum a bad name.

As I understand it, this guy came here to discuss why he disliked the book and thought this forum was the best place for it. And most of the long term members just proved him wrong.

Firstly, did i like it? no, please do not assume all saphiraforum posters are all like the ones who replied to your message, but I can not speak for the forum (only the admin and moderators can).

In regards to your points, I can only hold my hands up to you, and say fair play. I personally can not see your points apart from the LOTR slightly. Many Authors have taken inspiration from Tolkien and not many books would of been as great if they hadn't had that inspiration from him.

I have read Eragon and Eldest over and over, because I love them, as I keep rereading Lord of The Rings.

You were extremely brave to post those comments on this board.

Have you watched the film? The Film was not as good as the books as they missed out LOADS of key plots and they missed out the ending.

Irnstad

evereyone is entitiled to there own oppinions and im glad tht you are beign open minded , which quite alot of pople aren't but still , it wasn't really the smartest place to post it was it?

personaly i love the books,i find they chalenge me on levels i didn't know i had trying to figure out the ancient language and attempting to geuss what will happen in book 3,

i found if a book has 2 much of a storyline then u can predict wot is gonna happen but with eragon and eldest i had 2 keep guessing and i loved that. and if u look around u will probably find a site called eragonsux.com (wit about 50 out of 50 supernerd members) or sumit like dat is were u shuld b, and if u look around u r also gonna c people saying the same thing u said for LOTR and HP there are always people who have 2 insult books people keep near them reading them over and over and so this book is close 2 other books but it still holds uniqueness in many ways...it is sad u had 2 come 2 this site 2 insult books members here (except u) luv.

I totally agree with your signiture.

im not alone lol

quite frankly i dont care at all if u liked the book or not. i thought that it was awesome. and if u could do everyone here a favor and not criticize the book because i think everyone agrees with me when i say u are wrong

Now lets not go too far. All is fun in games. Don't be too serious

who cares if he likes it or not? he has to be a huge nerd to join a forum about eragon to say he doesnt like eragon

Ajihad, for starters he is wrong from your point of view. And yes, many people may agree with you, but like him you are expressing your own point of view.

He didn't insult the book. He came in the intent to discuss his opinions. I've got an A-Level in English Lit, and this guy has looked at this book and found a view things and said 'Hang on, that doesn't quite add up. I want to discuss this with people who LIKE the book and see if they saw the same things or can explain to me why, what, why, when and how.

And how can you him a nerd? Defination of Nerd: Someone who is socially inept and unstylish; especially one with an unnatural devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits.
He came here with the intent to discuss the book, and I am really shocked. I thought this board as suppose to be friendly. This person didn't come on say 'This book is a load of crap' and cussed us, he posted with a few points he found.

I'm....a little annoyed at the narrow mindedness of some of the posters.

Irnstad

no a nerd is a person that has no life.

also this forum is do discuss things about eragon not whether its good or not. there is no point on this forum if you dont like eragon, b/c this is the only topic you can post on. we arent narrow minded, i dont care if ppl like eragon or not, he just needs to get a life if he has the time to come on here to say he didnt like eragon. and he doesnt want to discuss it! he made one post.

First off - Irnstad, I'm so glad there are other Eragon fans (I'm assuming you are one, anyway) that don't fly off the handle at someone's opinion. You were right on many points, especially that he didn't just show up and say the book sucked.

Secondly, since when is a nerd a person that has no life? I could argue for hours on what a nerd is, but I'm sure nobody wants to read that.

And third, since when does a person who states his opinions on a book have no life?? That's just wrong. I never really liked the Lord of the Rings books because I thought they were a little slow (if you know what I mean), or Harry Potter, for a big long complicated reason that would take me into a whole other topic. Although I have just stated my feelings on those series', this does not automatically mean I have no life.

On the Harry Potter site Mugglenet, fans debate the relative quality of the different books in the series they love so well, talk over which characters they like or dislike, and are generally civil and respectful of each other’s views. In other words, they have no problem with criticising the Harry Potter books. By contrast, on these forums, criticism is not tolerated in any form.

i know that is his opinion im not criticizing that he likes the book. my problem is that he is coming on a FAN website talking bad about the book. if he doesnt like the book thats fine but he shouldnt come on a site where everyone likes the book. we are here to talk about why the book was good. if he wants to say something bad then he can go to another site.

Exactly. A Fan community. All you guys are giving stupid reasons as to why this person shouldn't be on this board.


'He shouldn't post that because I like the book'. He came on here with the intent to discuss his points. I can imagine this guy has read Eragon, so in effect it had him reading because he was intent on seeing it to the end. This is so wrong, and ilegal


Irnstad

Well this forum is for everyone. The people that loved and hated the book, but for those that hated the book it could be harder, because people normally want to protect what they really liked.

you can not like LOTR, but going on a LOTR fan forum and saying you didnt like it means you have no life




wrong or not, how is it illegal?

Lol, anyways i will have to agree there is no reason to search for a forum just to post how much you didn't like, whatever it was (in this case a book series)

so......This is LOCKED
