Agreed.

I tried to read Eragon, that 1436 talks about below, when it first came out, and I found it to be ridiculously derivative of the McCafferty and Tolkien.
I can't really defend it against that criticism. It is also very derivative of the Star Wars plot, which is derivative of several other plots. But then, how many 12 year olds will catch that?

The best thing I can say about it is that it was written by 19 yo which can be inspiring to a young person interested in literature.

Oh and the movie sucks beyond all comprehension. Really, really bad.
