Eragon

Eragon is a fictional book about a boy who is magically sent a dragon egg while he was hunting for a deer in "the spine".

 I chose this book because I was intrigued  by the feedback from friends that had read it. I was hooked on this book because it was written when the Author was 14.

The book all started with a boy named Eragon who found a large blue egg sent to him by an elf. After meeting up with an old man named Brom Eragon finds that the egg is really a dragon egg.  Next Eragon finds himself face to face with a terrible creature called the Razac. He then decides to attack a shade "evil magician" named Durza who has captured the elf. Then he meets up with the rebel force called the Varden. An epic  battle begins and Eragon uses magic and his dragon to win the battle and kill the shade.

The significance of the title is that it is the main characters name.

The three questions I would ask the author would be how does the elf know who to send the egg to because it doesn't explain how she new very well, are there other worlds beyond Aligasia "the homeland of Eragon" I would ask this question because it would be interesting to find out how they all got on this big "island", and last but not least are there different kinds of dragons or are they the same because I it doesn't explain it just says "dragon".
