Near the beginning of the semester (about a month into second semester) we were told to read a book and present things about the book to the class. I just recently finished my book i was reading (Eragon) and found that it was long and somewhat challenging to read as some words were not in the English language but I did like the book and do recommend it . I did watch the movie and thought that it was really rushed and not very good. So, if you want to read or watch it, read the whole series first (4 books) because the movie will disappoint you.
