Not just Eldest, but the entire Inheritance Trilogy to date is a tedious, mind-numbing mass of generic fantasy elements shoehorned into the Star Wars plotline, plagued with simply ridiculous characters and riddled with inconsistencies. It is a valiant, but truly laughable attempt at literature. Paolini starts off with minimal character development with a sprinkling of irritating prose and illogical events, followed by some pointless religious banter. Toward the middle of the novel, he waxes imbecilic as he approaches creative agony in the leafy forest of Du Weldenvarden, rife with vegan, atheist elves who try to ram their views down the readers' throats. Together with some rather disturbing meditations on elvish body parts and a poorly-staged battle, Eldest is sure to make readers want to scream with fury and tear their own hair out in frustration.
