Eragon sucks. Just throwing that out there.
A minor wank, but one that made me lol nonetheless.

So anyway, Eragon that big bloated rip-off of SW and LotR and HP and Dragonheart that it is just got released at the movies, much to the rapture of thirteen year old boys across the English-speaking world.

Eric D Snider, internets comedian and film critic, reviews the erstwhile film:

I haven't read the book, but I know this about it: It was written by a home-schooled, fantasy-obsessed teenager named Christopher Paolini and published when he was 19. And yet somehow -- and this is stunning -- somehow the story turns out to be geeky, simple-minded and shamelessly derivative of "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars." Why, it's almost as if ... as if a home-schooled, fantasy-obsessed teenager wrote it!

In the reader's comments, some vent about their crappy teenage novels never getting published. Others take mild umbrage at his comments about home-schooled kids.

Others simply take potshots at the critic because ZOMG ERAGON ROX!!!

This proves that the writer of this review is a complete idiot (seriously). How can you psooibly judge his book off the movie makers mistakes?! In the book you will notice NO parallels from LOTR or SW. The story (in the book) is not geeky at all. And since when did not going to those Indoctrination camps (public schools) make you a target for insult.

All in all, I have never read a worse review, NEVER.

A book about dragons not being geeky? Whatevs. Mommy, on the other hand, decides to pull out the Cassandra Clare Defence-Card Deluxe on us:

I thought the book was good, considering it was written by a teenager. Now just the fact that you need to consider that tells you something. Still those who think they could write something that good, haven't written something that long. At least he had the brains to choose good sources to copy, and to pull together a cohesive story.

I think this post was just an excuse for me to say how much I hate Eragon and anything associated with it.
