My book, Eragon, is a compelling and interesting title. The whole thing about the stone/egg is very mysterious. What is so bad about the spine that made Sloan so scared of the stone/egg. The characters are well developed as well. Sloan is pretty much a jerk who isn't charitable and doesn't like Eragon very much. Horst helps Eragon buy meat so that he and his family will have food during the winter. Right now, they are waiting for the traders to come so they can sell the stone/egg to them and earn some money. I wonder what will happen in the future of this book. Will the traders come? Will Eragon survive this winter? Will Sloan stop being such a jerk? And finally, what lies behind the mystery of the mysterious stone/egg thingymabobber?
