Since i find Roran's storyline boring (and that's huge part of book) I must say I liked Eragon more than Eldest.

I do agree I dislike Rorans story buit on the other had I really am into elves and Eragon got to interact with more of them so i like the second book better Although they are very colsly matched for me I am just more drawn to elves. And Do you think the story would be the same if you skipped Rorans part?? I think I will try that some time lol because Eragons story does not get changed be rorans much

I disagree with all of you. I liked Rorans story! It was pretty interesting. Espiecially when him and the village people showed up at the battle! When he bashes the twins over the head with his hammer, I was like, "WHOOO! Go RORAN!!"

Though I think I need to start from the begining again, from the begining of Eragon. There are so many things people have been talking about that I don't remember at all.

Oh my gosh same but I did read Eragon over I'm not on Eldest once again and I relized I forgot a lot but still I move through Rorans story as fast as possible it kinnda drags on for me like some interaesting things do occur but I much rather like Eragons journey more but thats because he gets to go through a lot more out of the ordinary kind of things

8-[ Thats like the complete opposite of me. I think Eragons journey drags on! Sure there are some interesting parts, but theres only so long an ADHD mind can stay focused! 8)

Eldest was definetly more interesting, but it's longer, and i've read it less. that's part of the reason i've read it less.

both are good, and i like both stories. but roran's pretty cool.

Post Re: Did you like Eragon or Eldest better?
I'm reading it and I can't stand that Roran seems so weak I know Eragon is strong because He's a rider but I'm so use to him fighting it bothers me that compared to Eragon Roran seems helpless in fights at least at first But I think I don't like his parts is because he doesn't focus on Katrina much and is really self centered like caterpillar Eragon did this this is so mean and I can't support her so she'll have to wait and I should find a way to make it work I know he's trying to do the right thing but it nothers me how much he disregaurds her but which ever I like Eragons story more not that I don't like Rorans at all I just prefer Eragons

Hey can you imagine what happens when you smash someones head with hammer? In my opinion to intetionally chose a weapon like hammer is same as saying to "hey guys I dirty butcher and I seriously enjoy killing". How can I like person like that ? :lol:

That is a horrible way to die and live knowing you killed someone and they didn't stand a chance

we're pretty off topic, but when he chose the hammer he remembered a story where a warrior who had laid down arms had to fight again to save someone he loved, or people, but chose a simple hammer as his weapon. CP probably did that to make him unique. and he, like eragon, have a reason to fight fiercely, and with out reserve, even if it gets bloody. the hammer does make him different from Eragon, no fancy swords, which has its own appeal

I liked Eragons story better because he seemed to be "smarter" and had more depth to him. Roran was just like blahh...
I think a hammer would be really ackward to use for fighting... I like swoards better!

I personally would go for the hammer. Cause if you do a spin wrong with a sword, you could hack off your own arm or leg. With a hammer, you might break a bone, but it'll heal alot faster than a amputated arm!!

I still like swords.

With a sword, you can parry as well as dodge but with a hammer...

You have to dodge since it would be almost impossible to hit the opponent's weapon with the head of the hammer every time. If it hits wood... it either scratches, cracks, of completely breaks of the blow was strong enough.

I think Eldest was better, cause in this book you get to see eargon grow up more, not as in only skills but with real life matters like love. I also love the big fight senes in this book better the eragon.

I like both of them the same because they both had different things that made them special and intresting.

Like in Eragon when he finds the egg and Saphira hatchs
and in Eldest when they are getting taught and the festivals they have!

I liked Eragon better than Eldest, what hit me hard with Eldest was the choppiness of the storyline. On minute your reading about Eragon, and then all of a sudden on the next page without warning, BamB. Your reading about Roran or Nasuada and the varden, from which the chapters on the Varden were Really boring to me

I thought so too, but with Roran and Eragon's stories the book was awesome! I love tormenting people who are still reading it and rubbing it in their faces. . . lol :lol:
