Well, if you're here and don't know about the inheritance Trilogy, Have no fear. Here is a Synopsis of the First Book, Eragon. (Warning, Spoilers ahead.)
Plot Summary
Eragon takes place in a land called Alagaësia, which is ruled by the despotic king Galbatorix. He was once a Dragon Rider, but went mad after his dragon was killed, by Urgals and he was denied another by the council. Dragons were once involved in a partnership with the elite Dragon Riders, and together they kept peace in the land. Galbatorix, along with the Forsworn (a group of riders that betrayed the rest of the order), crippled the order of the Riders. For years many believed that dragons were extinct.
The main character of the novel is Eragon (EHR-uh-gahn), a 15 year old boy who lives with his uncle Garrow and cousin Roran on their farm, just outside of a small village known as Carvahall. While hunting in The Spine, a local range of mountains, Eragon is surprised to see a polished blue stone appear in front of him. After failing to sell or trade his find, Eragon witnesses a baby dragon hatch from the "stone", which was in reality a dragon egg. He questions Brom - the elderly town storyteller - about the ways of the Dragon Riders. After this talk, Eragon names the dragon Saphira (Sah-fear-RAh). He raises the dragon in secret until two Ra'zac (RAA-Zac), sent by Galbatorix, come to Carvahall looking for the egg. Eragon and Saphira manage to escape by hiding in the forest, but Eragon's uncle Garrow is killed, and the house and farm are destroyed.
Eragon becomes a Dragon Rider through his bond with Saphira. He seeks revenge on the Ra'zac. Eragon and Saphira begin a journey in search of the Ra'zac, accompanied by Brom, who insists on joining them. On the journey, Eragon learns swordfighting, magic, and the ways of the Dragon Riders from Brom, who is something of an expert in these areas.
They travel through several cities, and Eragon is shocked by the way that the Empire is harming the land and its people. Finally, after obtaining information in the town of Teirm, Brom concludes that the Ra'zac reside in Dras-Leona. There, Eragon, Saphira, and Brom are lured into an ambush by the Ra'zac. Although they are rescued by a stranger, Murtagh, Brom is gravely injured and dies shortly after — but not before revealing the secrets of his past. Brom was a Dragon Rider who had a dragon, which shared Saphira's name, but was killed years before.
The new company (Eragon, Murtagh and Saphira had travel in search of the hidden leagues of the Varden, a strong rebel faction which Brom had mentioned on their journey. On the way Eragon has dreams of a beautiful elf, all of which feature her suffering great pain. Eragon is captured and imprisoned in the same prison where the elf, Arya, is being held captive. Murtagh and Saphira stage a rescue and Eragon escapes with Arya. During the escape Eragon and Murtagh battle with a Shade. The fact that a Shade is walking freely in the land deeply disturbs Eragon and he suspect that Galbatorix is planning something terrible.
Eragon and his party are pursued by an army of Urgals as they travel to the Varden's fortress, hidden deep within the Beor Mountains. Once inside the fortress, Eragon learns of the pact between the dwarves, the elves and the Varden and how it was that Saphira's egg was magically teleported to the Spine. The group is at last able to rest, although an invasion by the army of Urgals is imminent.
When the battle finally begins, the Varden, elves, and dwarves are pitted against an enormous army of Urgals. During the battle, Eragon faces the Shade, Durza, whom he had recently encountered, and kills him, though he receives a serious disfiguring wound on his back. After the death of the Shade, the Urgals seem to have a spell lifted from them, and begin to fight among themselves. This gives the Varden a chance to counter-attack, routing the surving Urgals. The story ends at the close of the battle, and we learn that Eragon will soon be sent to be taught by the elves in the sequel where he will meet Oromis, the elf who saved him from the shade.

Didn't we all rant about the movie, though? Heck; I smashed it into the ground in various places- my LJ, IDMB, my journal... anywhere I could.
As for the trilogy, it does rule. Officially. Well, if we thought it sucked, surely we wouldn't be in the guild?

Glastea Didn't we all rant about the movie, though? Heck; I smashed it into the ground in various places- my LJ, IDMB, my journal... anywhere I could. As for the trilogy, it does rule. Officially. Well, if we thought it sucked, surely we wouldn't be in the guild? Well....I don't know. In my opinion, I have a love-hate relationship with the books but I'm still in the guild. There are things about the books that annoy me to no end and that constantly make me just want to bash it. However, there are those other things--such as Murtagh and a few interesting aspects Paolini incorporated into his books--that keep me reading. But yes, if we thought it completely sucked then I doubt we would be in the guild. I think most mistakes that annoy me, though, have to do with the fact that Paolini is a young author and, perhaps to an extent, a little bit full of himself--this second thing mainly from what I've heard of fans who have seen him at book signings and such. But it's nothing that makes me stop reading...not permanently at least. I have a rather short attention span, and certain parts of his writing show his age most unfortunately.

I like the LoTR Trilogy, but I never read the books~I only saw the movies. Anyway, Eragon was a good family movie, not the adventure epic like Chris meant it to be. Although I did cry when Brom died *sniffle*. Like some of you people said, the Special Effects were great, but then again so was LoTR. Oh well. You cant win them all, right? wink
