If you go to the childrens section of Barnes and Noble (Where you'll find this series,) I can point out about a hundred books that are ALL similar in plot/story/characters.
Who cares if the plot is the same? It's how he takes that plot and turns it into a unique story about Eragon and Sapphira.
Before you criticise, you need to pick the book up yourself.
To damn the book without having read it first hand is a rather onesided way of going about things.
Which...
Only attests to your ignorance.
So please,
if you would...
Read the book and then come back with a valid argument.

So you're endorsing theft?
And my argument is valid. I present to you my source for belief, so if my argument is not valid, then neither is that of the people who have so kindly exploited the book for what it truly is.
