This book is a cool book because one of the real life issues that it addresses is that the government doesn't always work in the favor of the people. Eragon lives in a very poor village and no matter how much the people plea to the government, the government doesn't care in slightest bit about their town. Also it adresses the issue of people being very poor in the world. Eragon lives in a family that just barely makes enough money to survive the harsh winter that happens in his area.

In my book, I believe that the main character, Eragon, is a round and dynamic character. He feels hopeful when he finds the egg (which he thought was a stone at first) in The Spine. He feels angry when he finds out that the egg was not worth anything for the traders that came to town. He feels cheerful when he raises the dragon and it grows up. Also, he learns throughout the story that things may not always be what they seem at first. This happens because he thought that the egg was just a worthless stone after talking to the traders. However, the stone turns out to be a dragon egg. That is pretty awesome.

In my book, Eragon, he finally found the traders. When he brought the mysterious stone to the traders, he found out that the stone was worth nothing. They also found out that the stone was hollow. Eragon was not happy when he brought the stone back home. Suddenly, he saw the stone cracked and out came a baby dragon. He later befriended the dragon and raised it in the woods until it grew up. Eragon and the dragon were great friends. I believe that the theme is: it's not good to let a first impression completely define something.
