More About the Author

Christopher Paolini was born on November 17, 1983 in Southern California. He has lived most of his life in Paradise Valley, Montana with his parents and younger sister, Angela. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. The idea of Eragon began as the daydreams of a teen. Christopher's love for the magic of stories led him to craft a novel that he would enjoy reading. The project began as a hobby, a personal challenge; he never intended it to be published. All the characters in Eragon are from Christopher's imagination except Angela the herbalist, who is loosely based on his sister. Christopher was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon. He took a second year to revise the book and then gave it to his parents to read. The family decided to self-publish the book and spent a third year preparing the manuscript for publication: copyediting, proofreading, designing a cover, typesetting the manuscript, and creating marketing materials. During this time Christopher drew the map for Eragon, as well as the dragon eye for the book cover (that now appears inside the Knopf hardcover edition). The manuscript was sent to press and the first books arrived in November 2001. The Paolini family spent the next year promoting the book at libraries, bookstores, and schools in 2002 and early 2003. In summer 2002, author Carl Hiaasen, whose stepson read a copy of the self-published book while on vacation in Montana, brought Eragon to the attention of his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, which is part of Random House. Knopf published Eragon in August 2003. Eldest, which continues the adventures of Eragon and the dragon Saphira was published in August 2005, and in December 2006, Fox 2000 released their movie adaptation of Eragon in theaters around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good deal... and a great series, Ignore 1 star review, July 16, 2011

This review is from: Inheritance Cycle Omnibus: Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr (Kindle Edition)

This series of books is well worth the price. When you break it down it comes to $8 each book. That is very reasonable for a book. The person that wrote the first review is someone who probably should have stuck to garage sales and secondhand stores for the .25 paperback. Just because you are buying an E-Book doesn't make it any less work from the author. Also you are paying for the convenience of not having to tote a bulky book around and even more important have to find space on already crammed book shelves.

This review is from: Inheritance Cycle Omnibus: Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr (Kindle Edition)

This book is actually a combination of Eragon, Eldest, and Bisinger. This combimation is only $25, which $12 less than if you baught each book seperetly as ebooks. So don't listen to the idiot who dosen't read the book description.

Im now in tenth grade, but I have been following this series since my seventh grade year of middle school. In this time, I have read these books a total of three times and they get better and better with each viewing. At the conclusion of this series, I find myself more or less saddened by how great this series was.
