Notices
Add a NoticeViolence: death ... Razac die ...battles ... some bloody.. yea!!...
Frightening or Intense Scenes: Again, not for the squeamish.
Sexual Content: It's not really too bad. There's a couple of scenes where Roran and Katrina are lying in bed together; they kiss a couple of times. Nothing comes of it, (that the reader actually reads) thankfully. Otherwise, there are a few inappropriate jokes.
Violence: This series, (especially this book in particular), is NOT for the squeamish. The beginning, concerning Helgrind and rescuing Katrina, I found to be a little bit disturbing; especially the description of Sloan's wounds and the weirdos that sacrificed themselves to the Ra'zac.
Violence: Lots of dead people....lots of thinking about dead people....lots of killing people dead.....

Add a CommentNot as good as the first two books ... .... ... ... ... but still this is a good book
This is easily the best out of the series. I really got choked up during several parts. As always with Paolini's books, the questions within are so, so valid. One of the other things I admire is the action. In most teen fiction, there is a lot of speculation about violence. For example: "I punched someone. How am I any better than he is? Does that make me evil too?" But not so with Paolini's books. While there is a bit of that, it isn't very prevalent, because, after all, this takes place in a time of war. And war requires acts of violence. Anyway, the plot progression and the sequence of events are a little drawn out, but not so much that you get bored or disinterested. It is a bit of a task to read, but it's well worth it.
i read it in 2 days
It's a good book, but it's so looooong. Too long.
This book was a good read. I really enjoyed finding out why it was called Brisingr. Book three seems to be about watching Eragon Shadeslayer find his own symbol of power, which makes sense for one so central to the fight against Galbatorix. Other things that fascinated me about this volume were the continuing development of the characters Orik, Nasuada, and especially Roran. Additionally, Eragon learns about who he really is, and the expanded truth of his origins. That aspect of the writing didn't really do it for me. I'm not too fond of familial revelations in story, mostly because it has been done to death. All that: OMG. So-and-so is his/her mother/father/brother/sister. Still, this tale definitely sets the reader's anticipation for the final act.
its awesome and so addictive it never gets boring
excruciatingly wonderful.
Let's be honest...Brisingr doesn't pull the same punch as do its predecessors. If you must read Brisingr, then do so for the quality of Paolini's writing style, which is excellent. http://cafereads.blogspot.com/2012/06/house-blend-brisingr.html
Again, this is like a drug! It's so addicting! I bet Eragon's going to continue spying on Arya. :D
WOW! Inheritance Series Book 3 by Christopher Paolini, I read it in four days, 763 pages; I could not put it down. I will reread the entire series again very soon. Doctor-at-Bass! T. A.
