Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Gerrard Shale's reading turns this magnificent adventure into a thrilling audiobook for fans of all ages.
When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realises he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.
Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands....

Great story, good narration.
I've read the book before but haven't had time to read it again, so I was excited to listen to the audio book whilst driving.
I wasn't a fan of the beastly voice that was given to the dragon. As a powerful and magical being, her voice sounded too brutish and unintelligent and frustrated me when hearing it.
The rest of the performance was great.

worth it if you've read it before
have loved this series since I was 11(now 30). whilst there's compelling arguments for the story and some of its arcs to be all but stolen from other series lotr star wars etc, paolinis characters and pacing with nostalgia make it so re-read able(listenable?). sadly the person who narrates, (whom has a fine voice and in his natural tone is we quite pleasant to listen to). I have to admit his voice of many characters including Sapphira and Eragon are quite underwhelming and very far from what I assume anyone imagined them to be BUT after the first book you get used to it and it's no worries

Review
It was good. But Saphira's voice almost ruins it. Less elegant and more cookie monster.

Great to listen to
Only issue I had was the Scottish accent on Murtagh and the such growling voice on Saphira.

love, love
love this book. Very nostalgic of my early teens. The narrator did a great job of everthing but Saphira's voice, and that was really disappointing.

AMAZING
Little bit of a slow start but only because there is such an extensive and awesome plot that needs a lot of setting up. I 10/10 loved the plot and performance. I am so excited to start the second book and really recommend getting through the whole first half before deciding if you like the series or not!
