not to pile on, but casting my lot in with the rest of the "Eragon=bad" camp.  The sad thing is, I actually read Eragon on the recommendation of an acquaintance before I had read any of WoT or any Brandon Sanderson, and I kind of liked it.  Then my wife and I read Eldest together about the same time we started in on WoT, and there was no comparison.  I was so bored with Eldest by the end of it, and some of the writing was literally eyeball-rolling-and-groan-inducing.  Although we have a copy of Brisinger I haven't been able to bring myself around to reading it. 

And the Eragon movie was patently awful.

Eragon (the book): was an okay book, but a bit unoriginal. (good writing, boring plot  :( )

Eragon (the movie): was horrible. reminds me of those corny sci-fi series i have seen on tv from time to time  >:(
