Inheritance Trilogy


My aunt and uncle gave me these 2 books. I still have to get the last one...“Eragon, an epic fantasy in the vein of Tolkien and Anne McCaffrey, is sure to delight. 15-year-old Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, are part of a well-conceived world that readers will love traveling to
ERAGON: When Eragon finds a polished blue 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 realizes 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. . . .
ELDEST- Darkness falls...despair abounds...evil reigns...Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. Soon he is on the journey of a lifetime, his eyes open to awe-inspring new places and people, his days filled with fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems. Before long, Eragon doesn't know whom he can trust.Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle-one that might put Eragon in even graver danger.Will the king's dark hand strangle all resistance?
Can't wait to get the last book...

LOTR


When I was about 9, that was the first time my Dad lets me watch Lord of the rings. He's got the full selection of DVD's director's cut...I enjoyed the movie but I was a bit frigthened then and remembered snuggling in my dad's arm while were watching it.

Now he gave me these collection of books (Tolkien) of LOTR. I always prefer the books than the movie, but I haven't finish reading them all, cos my mum kept on buying me books. I still have to do my homework from School and ofcourse enjoy my Wii games during the weekend, so apparently I only read books before I go to bed.

Books for Kids

I was tidying up my room last weekend and I saw all my old books when I was in Primary School. I used to love Horrid Henry -he is a fictional character created by Francesca Simon and illustrated by Tony Ross. The first Horrid Henry book was written and published in 1993 and as of the end of 2007, there have been sixteen titles published, as well as numerous collections, activity books and joke books. The combined sales of all the Horrid Henry books and audiobooks now stands at over ten million copies. Horrid Henry is published in twenty five languages around the world. In February 2008, an exhibition, "Up to Mischief with Horrid Henry", opened at the Seven Stories Centre for Children's Books
- Captain Underpants-I thought this book was hilarious, I remember reading this and giggling until 12 midnite in my room. Captain Underpants is the main hero of the series. He always wears a red cape with black polka-dots and a pair of white briefs. He is actually Mr. Krupp hypnotized to think he is "Captain Underpants," a character created by George and Harold. Whenever Mr. Krupp hears the sound of fingers snapping, he turns back to Captain Underpants which causes George and Harold to follow him and keep him out of trouble. Captain Underpants turns back into Mr. Krupp when water is poured on his head. He gained his superpowers by drinking some "Extra Strength Super Power Juice" found on an alien spaceship.
