I know there are alot of reasons people dislike this story because of the so called mirroring of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings this story so called seems to have portrayed. I too almost felt this way until I realized that there were other stories and movies that had similar characterics of other stories and movies. Anyways, I really like Eragon because it showed me that no matter what hardship that boy had to go through he never backed down from a situation and there were plenty of times he could have gave in. People need to realize that young folks need stories like Eragon to show them that there is a futrue ahead not matter what it takes it can be a great futrue. On to Eldest....

This was my first read of 2009, and I have to say that I enjoyed the five copies I got for Christmas. Although not as comprehensive as the Harry Potter books, Beedle the Bard is meant to serve as a vehicle for a key plot element in "Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows". The rest of the book is filled with stories that revolve about the same morality issues of the magic-filled world where Wizards live, mainly, Magic as a way to improve life, greed and inmortality, etc. An interesting aspect was Dumbledore's commentary. One of the most mysterious characters in the universe, Dumbledore gives some personal insightful information about wizardly manners related to the story. "Beedle" serves more of a commentary about the dangers of "magic" in Harry Potter's society. It is written in a simplistic way, yet its contents provide great lessons on how to use the talents we all possess. Meant to be read as a children's book, it is a valuable resource for all Potter fans.
