Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

My review

rating: 1 of 5 stars
A horrific, boring, dull mess of a book. The primary character spends 95% of the time cleaning up loose threads and the remainder setting up the inevitable sequel. Meanwhile the secondary lead is merely present to provide scene cuts from the primary narrative and challenge your disbelief suspenders.



While Christopher Paolini again challenges himself to go beyond what he wrote in Eldest he fails to rise to the occasion and delivers a disorganized, underedited, plodding mess.



Frankly I would not have picked this up in hardcover if my wife hadn't already bought it. Now that I've read it, I would probably wait for the library to get a copy.
