 I think he just wanted to extend a 3 book series into 4 book. This is one of the most boring books ever written.

 Reviewed by The Compulsive Reader for TeensReadToo.com

Eragon and Saphira have just barely survived the latest battle between the Empire and Varden, and learned the truth about Eragon's parentage. Their encounter with Murtagh and Thorn has made them realize that they desperately need to revisit their teachers in Ellesmera, but their multitudes of promises keep them from returning. They must help Roran recover Katrina from the Ra'zac, rally forces for the Varden, and find a way to thwart Murtagh. But along the way, they'll discover some dark secrets and learn the sickening methods behind their adversaries' strengths.

BRISINGR is a well executed follow-up to ERAGON and ELDEST. It moves at a brisk and almost businesslike pace, only dragging slightly near the center of the book, as Eragon and Saphira struggle to fulfill their promises. Readers will be glad to see that the duo, Eragon especially, has not been placed upon a lofty pedestal, and still admit ignorance at times, an element that adds just the right touch of plausibility to the book.

Paolini's descriptive writing is becoming easily recognizable, and his ability to draw similes and metaphors between the most unlikely objects only adds to his appeal, and contrary to what one might expect, will draw in reluctant readers. Like with the prequels, the author cleverly manages to sneak in colorful myths and historical stories into the book that only add to the reality and vividness of Alagaesia, and make for a more engaging read.

The plot of BRISINGR is a little less developed than its predecessors, and seems to serve more as a segue between the first two books and the conclusion of the lively series, although the revelation of certain secrets and the suspense and tension Paolini weaves into the pages go a long ways in making BRISINGR a quick read.

Seasoned Paolini fans will enjoy the story, and be eager to move on to the final book.

 Tediously long and boring! At pg 200, I thought it would get better, but it didn't; at pg 400, thought maybe it might improve, but no such luck; by pg 600 it was too late...I just finished reading it coz I was in way too deep to stop now. Rather pathetic compared to the previous books in the series. I don't know if I'll be getting the 4th book. What a waste after having such a promising start, in spite of the plot lines from Star Wars and LOTR.

 Loved it!! Saddest one yet, though. I find myself still rooting for Murtagh. I really hope that he can turn around and be a good guy again. Some big surprises in this one! I thought the bigest surpise was revealed in Eldest. Didn't see some even bigger ones coming in Brisingr! Can't wait to find out what happens to Eragon and Saphira next!
