I think Eldest was better than Eragon.

I thought Eldest was better too, but I bet most people will vote no.

Uhm...I don're remember details so I can's say...but Eldest seems to be boring sometimes (I hate parts where Eragon was trying ball Arya )

I thought it was better, longer, more detailer, ect. Also, once I reread Eragon after Eldest, I was like "DO WHAT YOU JUST LEARNED . . . oh, wait, you learned that in Eldest, grr,"

it think eldest had much more cooler parts like eragon getting features of elves

i can't decide i liked in the first one how eragon was just learning and how he was on the run but in the second one i liked how he became powerfull so i am gonna have to say a tie for my opinion

i'll take that bet now

bet's off

eldest was better cos its longer so u can have action

exatly wat i think kool anyway i hope book 3 should be 1000 pages

I see the books as a whole, (or at least once Book 3 is released it will really be whole) and one complements the other, but I could not chose one over the other. They serve different purposes and both are outstanding. So I cannot choose!

I preferred Eragon
i thought eldest was just not emotional enough
he seemed less...
human...
but that is just me

I would repectfully agree to disagree. In Eldest we see a lot of Eragon's human emotions.
We see how his infatuation towards Arya grows, evidencing his hormones going amok as a human teenager, (because he is only 16), the many times he gets frustrated over the exersises with Oromis, his confusion, anger and arrogance with Vanir the sparring elf, and so on. By the end of the book he has learned so much, yet he remains his true self.

But who has actually felt that way?
Call me naive...
but...
i just don't feel that way yet
I'm 13!!!
I haven't been infatuated of frustrated to that extent yet
I'm still trying to understand my inner self...
Thats my quest...

Oh, my dear! You have a rough path before you. As a mother of a 16 yr old teenager I can assure you that much.
I was just reading over the section in which Trianna tries to seduce Eragon and I couldn't help laughing. Even though he is not a child, he is not yet a man, at least looking at it in the view of modern society. According to the story plot, boys reach manhood at the age of 16, with a coming of age celebration and all. Eragon has no father figure with whom discuss his concerns, so he is a lost with what he is feeling.

In this book CP is so delicate and subtle as he reflects Eragon's intimate and confusing feelings, it's wonderous. Again, I could not choose one book over the other.

eragon is main about him discovering about the varden and magic

Yep, then in Eldest he begins to affirm his growth from the 1st book. He is learning to understand himself at a deeper level. He also learns what he cannot do. I love both books!

i like eldest better cuz of the battle at the end,and when eragon was healed,and his trainging with ormis (soz bout the spelling ) buut i love eragon to!!!!!!!!!!!

i like both books very much. and many of you (espescialy annie bee) has hit the highlights as to why they are so great . so i won't worry about explaining myself.
but eldest, was longer and bla bla, (VERY GOOD). a lot because it was cp's 2nd book. he got some experiance with eragon, and now with eldest. so if he started out so good, i'm sure he'll finish off great.

i think eldest was better but empire will be the best

i think Eldest was way better and im surrprised alot of people has voted yes to..

I liked Eldest more because I think Eragon is more interesting as a dragon rider

eldest rules

eldest is better because it longer and there is more action
i think the third one will be the best
eldest rox
