Harry Potter! :O

(dislikes Harry Potter, but not as much despises the HACK who wrote Eragon)

The Eragon author is a KID. You can't be mad at him!
okay, he's more like a teenager. He was stoned when he wrote Eragon.

Harry Potter is okay- just the books, nothing else.

He was a kid when he wrote it. It doesn't excuse him from PLAIGIARISM. His later works are just as crap-tacular.

Oh Rhystcracker *pets your head*


Just because he got away with it, doesn't mean you have to raise your blood pressure.:cattail:

Sorry. It pisses me off that he was published and had a movie made of his craptacular crappiness, and he hasn't been charged yet with plaigiarism, or his parents for allowing it to be published like that. :mad:

They are afraid it would scar the kid forever.
 
He should be scarred! :p

I still love what Wikipedia wrote:
The New York Times Book Review stated that the novel, "for all its flaws, is an authentic work of great talent."[3]

Eragon has been criticized for its derivative nature, with critics drawing similarities between it and Star Wars (due to a very similar plot),[4] The Lord of the Rings (due to the setting, elven[5][6] and dwarven races,[5] and the language)[5] and Dragonriders of Pern, (which involves dragonriders with a telepathic link to their dragons).[7]

Many positive reviews note that the work pulls strongly from the conventions of fantasy, in character, dialogue and concepts.[8] School Library Journal's review of Eragon was positive, yet lukewarm, noting that Eragon is overly simplistic in its resolution of plot issues.[9]

Common Sense Media called Eragon's dialogue long-winded and clichéd, with a plot "straight out of Star Wars by way of The Lord of the Rings, with bits of other great fantasies thrown in here and there". The website did concede that the book is a notable achievement for such a young author, and it would be appreciated by younger fans, but still labeled it "overblown and derivative".[4]
 
Not just derivative, though... he quite literally COPIED parts of LotR word-for-word. Grr.

Bugs me.
