Also this review is GOLD done by someone who has a degree in literature I think: http://eragon-sporkings.wikispaces.com/eragon_sporkings_page
But more onto the point, I think where it simply got to be too much was when there was a Furry elf. Really. A furry elf. Who turns women on just by being near them. And he refuses to change forms despite how inconvinent that is to others.
Also anyone remember the elves attacking a logging camp just because they belonged to the Dark Emperor? And when people tried to call them on it, they just went "Our fury in war has awoken we cannot be restrained blah blah blah" And instead of bitching them out for killing working class folks they just went "Oh well okay." I mean, it bothers me how much shit the elves get away with.
