The Inheritance Series: Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr

         Out of all the book series I have read, the Inheritance Trilogy has been one of the few to rise to my list of top three.

             Starting with Eragon, then Eldest, and lastly Brisingr Part 1 & Part 2, this series is one of the most well written book series I have ever read.  Eragon is the story of a young boy, about 15, who comes across a blue stone in a notorious mountain range called The Spine.  He ends up keeping this egg due to the fact that he can not sell it because no one wants something that came from the Spine.  Everything goes well until the egg hatches, and out pops a dragon, who he later names Saphira, that will change his life forever.  Eragon takes his place throughout the books slowly but surely as a Dragon Rider, set out to rid his world of Alagaesia from the evil King Galbatorix.  These novels are full of fun, romance, action, mysterious plot lines, and suspense like very few other books bring. Eragon is diffidently a great read for the readers that want to have fantasy mixed with action in an easy to read trilogy.
