ERAGON and ELDEST ... by CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI

I just finished these two books by the young writer C Paolini. I would say it is a nice attempt from him for this trilogy do contain some stories where the reader would feel enigmatic and may be some of the sequences are exhilarating like in the book ERAGON... eragon accidently finds the dragon coming out of the beautiful stone. and then the fighting....with the SHADE... and in the second book the fact that he too is the son of MORZAN....meaning he is brother of MURTAGH...
But many a times i feel he has failed to enthrall the reader where it was pretty easy to do so. He has made eragon a powerless HERO... every now and then he miserably wins....He is not even able to win his love/infatuation ARYA ...the elf.... Then his brother kills the king of Dwarfs.... and he is not able to anything... He says BROM was a great rider but he dies at the hand of RAZAAC ...whom he describes as some petty criminals and yet give them a credit of killing a RIDER...
Anyway it was good after reading LORD OF RINGS ....felt similar ...but still i await the end of this story too!!!!!!!!!!!!3RD part is yet to come........
