Darkness falls... Despair abounds... Evil reigns...

Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesméra, land of the elves, for further training in magic and swordsmanship, the vital skills of the Dragon Rider. It is the journey of a lifetime, filled with awe-inspiring new places and people, each day a fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and Eragon isn't sure whom he can trust. Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle back home in Carvahall, one that puts Eragon in even graver danger. Will the king's dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life .

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

the narrator was horrible, accents terrible, and overall poor performance.
Should never use an american accent for the audio book, it makes it feel cheap.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Loved the story but was disappointed when I realised that it was abridged. An abridged version does not do justice to Christopher Paolini's story. The reader was good though and I loved most of his character's voices - once I got used to the accent. For those who listened to this version, please do yourself a favour and read the book to understand its true magnificence.

Good listen but abridged???
