Exactly. Everyone's already GOT a copy or two or OotP. Personally I've never heard of Eragon.

ive read this in another newspaper too but i dont think it could be anywhere near as good as HP!

I've read the first of his books, they're great! But deffinitly no JK. Eragon might have a chance but Harry's got his Firebolt....remember the task in the Triwizard Tournement(sp?)?? :sorcerer:

I saw the books in my local bookshop but thought they looked a little young for me- I'll wait for the adult covers

i know know but i saw a lot on the news.alot of people thought i was good. i guess i'm going to read it.:wub: :wub:

I saw something about that book on the tonight show... but I don't think I saw it all... 'cuz I can't remember a thing!!!

Eragon was an okay book. Not the best thing ever written, but an enjoyable read. Do I like it will ever become the phenomenon Harry Potter is? Unlikely, unless the press hypes it up unbelievably. Harry had more of a cult following until the movies came out.

^ you'r right..
i am reading the book its not a page-turner like hp but it's a time pass....... not that exciting either

NO MATCH FOR HP........... HP IS MUCH MUCH MUCH AND THOUSAND TIMES MUCH BETTTER

I don't think they should compare every new book to Harry Potter; I mean everyone knows HP is unbeatable

* aha .. i agree! ..

Eragon is a wonderful book, and extremely good. However, it is completely different than Harry Potter. The only thing they have in common is magic. There is such a big difference that it's hard to compare them, but I like both.

also, it's stupid to say which book is better, especially if you have never read Eragon.

i have the book, but i haven't read it yet, i have been reading other books, good books, The Da Vinci Code, and Angels and Demons.

I have not read Eragon, but i bet HP will be better

I LOVE eragon. Besides hp and lotr its my favorite book! I carry it with me all the time

Its story is good complex and daring.. It goes where no other story has before..

It really has a medievil realistic taste to it!

THANK YOU!! I love this person, whoever u are. i know u guys all love HP, but Eragon was a great book and it IS stupid to compare HP to something you've never read. Me, personally, i liked HP better.

I think that it's amazing that this guy started it when he was 15. He also graduated from High School at the age of 15. i'm 15 now and all i have are scattered beginings of stories.

I've never heard of Eragon, but even if it's a a great book I'd have to agree with this:
It may be a great book, but Harry Potter was already very popular and people had been anticipating OotP for a while.

It doesn't have to do with which book is better or not, it simply has to do with how well-known the books are and popularity.

when exactly did this book come out? ive never heard anything about it and nobody i know has ever mentioned it...is it really that popular?? maybe ill try reading it one of these days

Eragon is a much newer book, so when the sequel, Eldest, comes out, it could be "long awaited" just like HP. by chance, the next HP book and Eldest may come out around the same time, but why does it matter? HP has had more time to get popular, but does it really matter which book sells better? what matters more in a good book- the popularity of it, or the content?


Expelliarmus- it is a really good book, and only released last year

[I][COLOR=red]i have no idea who this eragon is but notin tops harry potter

personally i think Eragon would be a good book. Whether or not it has any similarities to HP, that has similarities to other books too.

I bought the book Eragon about a month ago. I am barley on the 5th chapter because it is too difficult for me to understand. The words the author chooses are too hard for my mind to comprehend. (mind you all that I am in my twenties and probably the only one out there that doesn't understand ) So i am not liking it too much. Maybe Eragon is getting more sales because Harry Potter got kids (and adults) reading again and we are all off keeping ourselves entertained while we wait for the next installment of Harry Potter. We all have to keep our minds away from the anxiety of awaitng book 6!!! And because Eragon is on the lines of Magic and dragons it kinda appeals to the kind of stories Harry Potter fans might be interested to read. Regardless, both series seem to be favorites for children and their content shouldn't be compared by book sales .

Ok,I just finished eragon.. I bought it just 4 days ago it was worth 20 bucks!

Its so interesting.. Its a page turner.. It's complex and has a more adult level than harry potter..

See this is what you should read after hp.. It can realyl help introduce you to adutl books hehe..

I think this will be a big craze liek hp!

don't judge a book before you read it...or by the cover

i'd have to say it's not a real pageturner but it's pretty good and it takes my mind off how much i cant wait for the 6th book.
btw- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is also a great read 4 all those who r lookin 4 a book to pass the time. u should check it out!
