Este es un resumen, no el audio libro completo. El archivo está dañado pero la narración es muy buena

[edwinkort · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Wat een verhaal, kunnen veel schrijvers van leren.

Revier volgt.

Eldest is decent fantasy, but not great. There are a lot of writing traps that bothered me, but I have to wonder whether I'm just too old to appreciate the target audience. I'll just say that I hope Paolini comes back with a more impressive finale.

[Melanie Walker · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

muy bueno y entretenido, de repente se trababa pero nunca supe si estaba mal grabado o era el internet

[marcobeta · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Excelente narración, si bien es un resumen del libro, es un resumen muy acertado. Si no puedes leer el libro definitivamente esta es una buena opción.

Enjoyed this more than the first.

In Eldest, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, travel to the elven land of Du Weldenvarden, where he undergoes extensive training on his journey to become a Rider. The first part of the book is a bit overwhelming with all the different languages and odd names, but once you get past that, the story gets energizing. While we follow Eragon's adventures with the elves, we also find out his cousin, Roran has his own problems back in Carvahall fighting the Ra'zac. Surprisingly, Roran morphs from a farmer into a notorious fighter, leading the entire village into war with the dreaded Gallbatorix. Eragon is finally maturing a little, although I'm still waiting for that he's-a-badass-warrior moment. Saphira could also be more assertive. Hopefully, that's something we'll see in the coming books as the story continues.

My 10 year old son and I are reading this series together - the audio books - and we both very much enjoyed it. I would have given it a 3.5 and he would have given it a 5 (he's very easy) so I rated it 4 stars.

[chibitika-1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

Excellent fantasy.

[cbloky · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

love how the character development continued and the new ones that were introduced. saw some of the things that were coming ahead of time but there were other twist in the story. So looking to starting book 3 soon.

[aarondesk · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

Another book in the series. Took me a while to get through this one. Was slow at times, but ending picked up.

[karlstar_1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

A good follow-on to the first book. Now that they are heroes, Eragon and Saphira learn more about the rebels, about how to lead and how difficult a war will be. I thought this was a good epic fantasy with some good characters, good world-building and decent plot.

[sara_cat-107388 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

I actually want to give this a 4.5~4.7. One of the opening scenes in this book was hard for me to follow, but after reading all the way to the end, it makes a lot more sense. And that wasn't the only time I thought, hmmm, that doesn't seem well planned/make sense... only to continue reading and find out later I just needed to be patient for Paolini to reveal things that the POV characters weren't aware of at the time.I love the complexity and depths of so many of the characters and how many actions and decisions are not given a 'good' or 'bad' label but also shown to be complex with various shades of grey.I was surprised by some turns of events, and sometimes saddened that what I hoped was me misreading Paolini's foreshadowing and hints turned out to be correct. I don't remember him having multiple POV characters in Eragon but his use of changing points in this book really enhanced the suspense at some points, and helped to fill in gaps at others. If you liked the first book, keep reading. The story is worth continuing.

The first book was ok and for some reason I decided to give this book a chance (I think I did because somebody gave the book to me as a present.)
Anyways just like the first book, this was just ok/good. Nothing new or original and I've seen it before in other fantasy books.

[lewisrgeorge · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

This book suffers from a lot of the same issues as the previous one. However, the story is slightly more original and the characters do have more development. The chapters with Roran were the highlight of the story, as Eragon became too overpowered to remain interesting. This was probably the strongest of the four books.

[linyarai · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

One of my favorite series to re-read, I love Paolini's characters and world building.

[lostarchive · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

I loved Eragon and this is a good sequel but the use of alternate perspectives creates a problem for me. I personally found them a bit distracting and would of rather alternate / non-Rider perspectives been published in their own book as supplementary material. This however would amplify my second problem, the alternate perspectives contain most of the action. This allowed to author to create a slow burn in the main story but to me it was a bit too slow. I'm sure this was done to show off his growth as a writer but sometimes it just seemed like abrupt shifts that left me wanting to skip some chapters and return to them later. Alternate perspectives can add a great amount of background information but need to be done right. In Eldest they feel more like a "necessary evil" building up to the third book instead of a well thought out element. They also made the book longer than it needed to be which is one of the primary complaints of the series, one of the few I agree with.

[bookworm148 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

Christopher Paolini only gets a three-star rating because I love the world he has built. The actual writing of this book is mediocre at best, which may be due to the age he was when he first wrote the books. Regardless, The ending of this book felt way to rushed. Instead of having a cohesive path towards the ending, I felt as though the information learned in the last battle of the book was just thrown in there because Paolini wanted to shock the readers, but wasn't sure how to properly go about it. Therefore, there was little to no buildup for the big reveal and it lost a lot of the emotional value that it could have. In the few instances that Paolini tries to foreshadow something, he over explains/hints and then it becomes way too obvious. He hasn't found a happy medium in his writing style yet, and it shows.

[angelarenea-1 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

After reading Eragon so many times it was so exciting to continue on in the story. I really enjoyed hearing about/seeing the other members and inhabitants of Alagaësia

[brakketh-1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

The transformation part of the narrative where the boy transforms into the hero.

[egrant5329 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Part 2 of the Inheritance cycle was better than part 1 in my opinion. It is amazon the minds of people who write these fantasy books. The level of detail is amazing. On to part 3!

[rickyhaas · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

Eldest is the sequel to Eragon, the first book of the Inheritance Cycle. Much like the first book, Eldest is incredibly predictable. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it. There's still plenty of action and adventure to maintain the reader's interest. In addition, I found the situation revolving around Elva to be unpredictable. In my opinion, she is also the most interesting and unique character in the series. Another interesting aspect to this novel is the romance because it is so awkward. I'm not sure if Paolini felt uncomfortable writing romance sequences or if he was just trying to portray what romance is often like in the real world. Overall, this is a pretty typical fantasy novel and a good launching point for young readers of the genre. Side note: Is Paolini trying to promote Veganism through this novel?

The sequel to Eragon, Eldest is about Eragon and his journey to the elven lands to meet The Cripple Who Is Whole, the only other dragon rider besides the evil Galbatorix. Right before Eragon leaves the dwarven king offers to adopt Eragon into his clan. Eragon agrees. Before, in the battle against the Urgals, Eragon got a nasty slice running diagonally on his back. He almost died. Because of that, Eragon goes into painful seizures whenever he moves it. Once Eragon went to the elven lands, he takes part of a ritual, known as the blood-oath celebration. He then is turned into a part elf, part human hybrid. He gets the elve's supernatural hearing, strength, speed, and agility. His back is healed. Eragon receives lots of training with Oromis, the cripple who is whole. Eragon rides back to the Varden and sees another rider. They have a lengthy battle and Eragon looses. The rider;s helm is taken off, and Eragon is astonished to see it's Murtagh, his former friend, and ally. Eragon manages to escape and is reunited with his brother.

[bookslesstravelled · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

My favorite <3 Murtagh what more can I say? Yeah I'm a sucker for his type, but to me, even before it really picked up, this is overall the most thought out, and well planned of the Inheritance Cycle. Of course it's my favorite, but I also really like how the characters grow, the plot develops, and they all move to the next stage in the story.

[altheaann · Calificación: 1 de 5 estrellas]

I've been curious about these books, since they've been such bestsellers, and are already being made into movies. However, when I saw a co-worker reading one of them, and asked her how it was, she said "Eh. Not so good, actually."
And, I'd have to agree.
Admittedly, this was the second in a series, so perhaps I didn't start from the ideal perspective, but I was just not impressed at all.
The subject matter is completely unoriginal - a dragonrider, a la Anne McCaffrey (complete with the telepathic bond and 'whirling' dragon eyes) meets elves and dwarves that are straight out of Tolkien. Nothing new added at all - and not only that, the lack of effective description seems to indicate that Paolini just assumes that we've read McCaffrey and Tolkien, so he doesn't need to reiterate all that stuff - we already know it. The young dragonrider, Eragon, seems anachronistically contemporary in his speech and actions, even though he lives in a faux-medieval-fantasy world. And he soon becomes wish-fulfillment-ly handsome, strong, and talented, due to the gift of a magic spell. Boring. Most of the other characters are very two-dimensional.
I just realized I was about to finish this up, and I didn't mention anything about the plot. That's 'cause it was barely memorable. An evil warlord wants to take over the world with dark magic and the good peoples of the land want to stop him, of course. But not much actually happens.
At least it was a really fast read - although the book is physically large, the pages are thick and the typeface is pretty big - it's not really a very long story.

[belles007-1 · Calificación: 1 de 5 estrellas]

An overly verbose book written by a young adult who learned a handful of big words that he shoe horned into the story.

[benuathanasia · Calificación: 2 de 5 estrellas]

Some thoughts as I'm reading (listening):Bored.Bored.God I hate this audiobook reader. Saphira's voice sucks.Bored.OMG! Would everyone shut up and do something already?Bored.Wait...why are we back in Carvahall?Ugh...who the hell cares about Roran?Bored.Bored.Oh yay, another cliched "I love you but you're so wrong for me!" romance...This is like Tolkien...but crappyBORED!!!Oh look, they're alive.Wait...didn't we already know they were family? Didn't they tell us that in the last book? How the hell is this a shocking reveal? Either we were told already, or that was the most obvious reveal in history.Bored...*gaspy breathing* "Luke...I am you father!" *gaspy breathing*Bored...cliched...stupid.No me gusta. I'm a horrible completionist, so I'm going to finish the series (dammit), but this was tedious, derivative, and painful.

The second book in a four part series of epic proportions. These books have been compared to so many different kinds of stories, some have said Star Wars, some have said Lord of the Rings, personally I find some Pern and DragonHeart in here as well, but what is important isn't what parts of another story you find within this one, it is how much you enjoy being swept into the adventure that is provided to you.I honestly love the culture created around these characters and I enjoyed having the time to sit down and get swept away in the Elven and Rider cultures as Eragon studies, while dealing with the survival of the Human culture as Roran struggles to save his people. In Eldest you don't just have the evolution and growth of one character, you have the evolution and growth of two related characters and it is very interesting to see the differences and similarities in how each handles the situation (and new power) that they are given. This is a story about change, it is a story about moving on, it is a story about surviving and finding a way to fight something that you are certain is going to overpower youBeyond the creation of culture, what makes a fantasy adventure like this one so appealing to me is the ability to paint the picture in the reader's mind with such detail that you feel as if you are seeing it happen before your eyes rather than reading the book. If I can think back on the plot of a story and see the images rather than the words on a page, then everything has been done perfectly. So far that has been the case with this series and has certainly been the case throughout this particular book. I might not be able to tell you what page I'm on, but I can tell you what that Elven abode looks like and how a boat rocked on the waves. Can't wait to continue the series.

One man rules most of the known world and all the weight of breaking free of the tyrant is on a man and a dragon's shoulders. This book is titled Eldest by Christopher Paolini, it is the second book in the quadrilogy and is a fantasy book. The book shifts through many perspectives as the book goes on. The main character Eragon, was an orphan in a small town and is a young adult with great skills in battle and magic. Eragon has a scar on his back from a shade he killed in one of the dwarve's mountains. Eragon has a dragon that he named Saphira. Saphira is one of the only dragons left in Alagaesia. Saphira is small female dragon that has elegant blue scales and can breathe fire for a long time. Another main character is Roran, Eragon's cousin. Roran is a leader of his community and a great fighter with his hammer. Another very important character is Nasuada, she is the leader of the Varden after her father died. She is a strong political leader and a great problem solver. In the beginning of the book it takes place in the dwarven community in the Beor Mountains. More specifically, the dwarve's holiest city, Farthen Dur. Then towards the middle of the story Eragon and Saphira travel to the land of the elves. In the land of the elves, or as the book calls it, Du Weldenvarden, Eragon and Saphira go through intense training in battle and magic. In the end the book takes place in Surda, a nation fighting against the nation of Alagaesia.As Eragon prepares to leave for Du Weldenvarden from Farthen Dur, his cousin Roran is fighting the king of Alagaesia's (Galbatorix) army, in his town. Roran devises a plan to escape and flee tto the nation of Surda. He then travels to many ports to get ships to travel. Then Eragon travels to Ellesmera, the elves capital city and continues his trainig. There he meets a very important person to help him. After a lot of training Eragon returns to Nasuada who relocated the Varden to Surda from Farthen Dur. There he meets her and Roran and they prepare for a battle which they have been waiting for with Galbatorix. I think this is a great book full of vivid imagery, I also liked that the author included a glossary for the elven and dwarven words. This book is for ages ten and up because it is little hard to follow when almost every chapter switches the perspective. The authors craft was descriptive and with a very good flow.

[ashleyconrad-1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

The two things why I liked Eldest more than Eragon was.... 1. The author had all the different perspectives of the different people and how they all came together in the end. 2. All the exciting action during the war and surprise at the end.(I won't tell)But I thought it was a little slow at the beginning.....and then it picked up to a good pace.
