HBP knocked off the top spot
 
'Half-Blood Prince' has been knocked off the top spot at Amazon by Christopher Paolini's 'Eldest' (he also wrote the record-breaking book 'Eragon').

Quote:

"At least I'm young enough to get through the trilogy before I die," Paolini, now 21, told Reuters. He still lives with his parents in Montana, where he writes seven days a week.

Paolini's parents self-published Eragon and took him on a tour of schools, where he dressed up in medieval costume to promote the book. Eragon caught the eye of publishing giant Random House, and filming has just started in Hungary on a movie of the book, with a cast that includes Jeremy Irons and John Malkovich.

that book sounds.......great :one_brow:

it was going to happen sooner or later though...

Am i the only one so far that is glad he has made the top spot?!? How long has Half Blood Prince been at the top spot?! Ive def lost count!
Look how much JK could have made on book 6. Even the Order of the Phoenix broke all records and shes broken them again with HBP! Isnt that enough. I say ley someone else get a bestseller. Hes 21 afterall! You dont see JK dressed in wizarding robes promoting the books!

CONGRATS ON YOUR SUCCESS!!! WELL DONE! May your succesess continue coming!!

I agree, no matter how fantastic HBP is, once people have got one copy, they're not gonna buy another just to keep it at number 1. They may read it several times, but you can do that with the same book.

We all know that book 7 will smash the record books anyway, so let all the others get they're books out now and then no 7 can stay for even longer!! :yes:

Wonderstruck 08-25-2005 12:13 PM

Well at least J.K. was number one for a while there. It's still number one to me! lol.I haven't read the book Eragon, but I have heard of it. I wonder if the book is any good.

arl 08-25-2005 01:02 PM

georges_grrl 08-25-2005 01:13 PM

Erm.... congradulation? NOOOOOOOOO!! HBP RULES!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *runs off sobbing*

Renate 08-25-2005 01:39 PM

Congrats, Paolini. That sounds like an interesting film too. John Malkovich? Jeremy Irons? Wow. Big names!

HPfan365 08-25-2005 01:39 PM

Oh my god,I can't believe it!!!

~Insanely Insane~ 08-25-2005 01:45 PM

I've read Eragon and I just remembered yesterday that Eldest is supposed to come out in August. I have been excited for it to come, but obviously not as excited as for HBP cuz I didn't know the exact date and didn't remember it until now >.< Eragon, in my opinion, is a lot more adult-ish than HP. HP is still my number one of course!

~*dangirl~* 08-25-2005 01:48 PM

OMG!!! I didn't even know Eldest was out!!!! I read Eragon..it was a good book but I wouldn't say it's for all ages.... it's more like teenagers and adults...

Blackened 08-25-2005 01:49 PM

Eh... it was bound to happen sometime...
I'm glad it's Paolini, though.

Well put!

Yes, it was going to happen in the natural course of things. And I've heard some wonderful things about the Eragon trilogy.

bball27matrix 08-25-2005 02:10 PM

ive never read it but i might just do that

~*HermioneGranger*~ 08-25-2005 02:18 PM

:O How can this happen? *cries* Book 7 will beat this with flying colours, HP FOREVER!!!

hermioneg288 08-25-2005 02:18 PM

NOOO...HBP must stay at the top!!!!

HarryPotterandEragon 08-25-2005 02:32 PM

In my opinion (just look at my name lol) Eragon was the best book I ever read, and the third harry potter book falls just short. I think, however, when I'm done reading Eldest, I'll have a new 1st or 2nd favorite. HBP falls in third until I read Eldest.

padfoot_rox93 08-25-2005 02:44 PM

:eek: ACK! no! i've never heard of Eragon, but i guess it's pretty good if it knoced HBP out of its way. but... HBP will be always first to me... until the seventh book comes out, that is.

Lol - I bet you're quite pleased Paolini's taken top spot!
