Eragon

I read this a second time (full disclosure: listened to) and I'm docking it a star for...I don't know, maturity? I remembered very little of it from the first time, but I remember that I couldn't put it down, so I awarded it 5 stars. The second read was also very entertaining and I thoroughly enjoyed it but I can't rank it up there with other 5 star books I've read.

I love the epic journey Eragon goes on and the people and creatures he meets along the way. Like many young adult fantasy stories, it runs a bit too long for my taste. I enjoy a lengthy epic as much as the next reading specialist, but this probably could have been cut down.
