    This book is AWESOME! I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Christopher Paolini is truly a master! Here is a summary of Brisingr:
         Just as he promised, Eragon heads with Roran to Helgrind to rescue his spouse, Katrina, from the Ra'zac. There, they find Sloan, Katrina's father, who also was captured by the Ra'zac, but also gave his town away to them. Eragon and Roran rescue Katrina and Eragon puts a curse on Sloan that he many never see his daughter again. The spell also takes away Sloan's eyes. Then they return to the Varden, only to find out that Katrina is pregnant. Katrina and Roran's wedding is arranged, but in the middle of it, some of Galbatorix's troops attack, along with Murtagh. Eragon and Saphira beat the troops. Then Roran and Katrina get married. The dwarf king gets killed, so Eragon attends the new election in which his good friend, Orik, get elected. Eragon and Saphira return to Elesmera to resume their training. Glaedr the other dragon, gives Eragon his heart of hearts and heads off to fight Murtagh and Galbatorix. Eragon and Saphira head to the island of Vroendgard according to Solembum the cat. There they find something. What do you think they find? Meanwhile, Oromis dies and Glaedr lives on in his Heart of Hearts in sadness. Eragon and Saphira head to Feinster for the siege the Varden is Planning. There, Eragon rescues Arya, the elf. Then, Eragon helps Arya kill a Shade, making her a Shade Slayer like Eragon, them being 2 of the 6 who have survived doing so.
I recommend this book of 7th graders and higher.
This book is 763 pages. So be prepared to be reading a long book if you are going to read it.

        Christopher Paolini creates a masterpiece once again. As book 2 in the Inheritance series, this book has captivated many for years and years to come. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. ELDEST is the sequel to ERAGON. Here is a summary of ELDEST:
      During the battle of Farthen Dur, the dwarf king and leader of the Varden, Ajihad, was killed. Murtagh disappears. Therefore, Nasuada, Ajihad's daughter, becomes the leader of the Varden with Eragon's blessing. Eragon and Saphira travel to Elesmera, the elven capital, to resume their training as Dragon and Rider. There, they meet the only other Dragon and Rider on the Varden's side still living. Eragon learns what it means to be a dragon rider and how to cast more spells. Saphira learns flying and aerial combat skills. Meanwhile, Roran, Eragon's cousin, plans on marrying Katrina Ismira-Daughter. 
Then the Ra'zac attack Roran's town, everyone must escape to the Varden, on the other side of Alagaesia. They also take Katrina. Eragon and Roran meet again at the battle of the Burning plains because Eragon is there to fight and for Roran it is where the Varden is with Eragon. Eragon swears to get Katrina back to Roran, for they are engaged. 7 and up.
I reccomend this book for grades

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

  I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. Christopher Paolini creates a magical world that you could only imagine could be real. Here is a summary of ERAGON:
  When Eragon, a poor, 15 year old farm boy finds a dragon egg in the magical mountain range nearby his home, he does not know what to think. But when the dragon egg hatches and forms a everlasting bond with Eragon, their adventures begin. Then Garrow, Eragon's uncle gets killed by the evil Ra'zac, Eragon swears to conquer them. With help from Brom and Murtagh, he travels to the base of the Varden (the rebel forces against the evil king, Galbatorix) to help them just in time for a battle against Galbatorix's Urgals (giant gnome-like creatures) and a Shade (an evil-possessed human). Eragon ends up in a fierce fight with the Shade. Do you think he will defeat the Shade Durza?
I think this book would be good for grades 7 and higher.
This book is 528 pages long, so be prepared to be reading a very long book if you want to read it.
