Samara - Yeah, I think people who haven't read Eragon thought the movie was okay, but they're missing out on the real thing! Jennifer - my daughter never wants to read a book if she's seen the movie version. I was purposely keeping her from watching Little Women, but my mom spoiled it and showed it to her, and now she's not interested. :( Mary Beth – it was very difficult to read aloud, because of how hard I cried through the last few chapters.

My daughter started reading the book, but before she got to the end, she saw the movie at a friend's house. I think it affected her and she didn't want to finish the book. She doesn't really like a sad story (she didn't want to finish Little Women either when she read in another book about what happened in it!). What a great review, Carrie!

I loved the book and got it for my son to enjoy as well. I was so very disappointed in Eragon (the movie). My hubby thought it was great as he hadn't read the book. But even if you hadn't read the book, the movie was without direction...even at the end, unless you read Eldest, it's a flop. I can't understand why Christopher Paolini would allow such a butcher job on his story. Glad Bridge wasn't ruined in such a way...I'll have to see it some day. Wow…Bridge to Terabithia sounds great.

I got it for Easter one year as a child and sat on the couch, ignoring everyone else, and read the whole book in one sitting, which then of course ruined Easter dinner cause I was sobbing:} I was furious at the movie makers of Eragon. The book was perfect for a movie just as it was written - why mess with it? I’m glad the movie was true to the book.
