Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

In Inheritance Christopher Paolini combines action and wisdom in an amazing last installment. Concluding with a super scary moment that makes you think that the worst has come. His use of the "Ancient Language" makes the book even that more interesting. I hope that he has another book like this.

Eldest by Cristopher Paolini

This is the second book in the Inheritance Cycle(witch seems to be the most populer series at ATA
at the moment) It acts as both the answerer of the first books questions, and the asker of the next books questions.
It is absolutely full to brim and spilling over a bit with adventure, drama, and mystery. To me these books are on the same level of greatness as the works of the best writers of the 21th and 20th centuries, such as Rowling, Tolkien, Brian Jacques, and Rick Riordan.

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

It began with Eragon... It ends with Inheritance.

Not so very long ago, Eragon--Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider--was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now, the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.

Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chance.

The rider and his dragon have come farther than anyone dared to imagine. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagesia? And if so, at what cost?

This is the spellbinding conclusion to Chrisopher Paolini's worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

for its there that he finds not only Friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him if harry can survive.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the discovery of a poor farm boy: perhaps it will buy his family meat for winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled on a legacy nearly as old as Empire itself. Over night his simple life is shattered, and he is thrust into perilous new world of destiny, magic, and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of a old story teller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds.
Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the empire may rest in his hands. I love these books and I think there one of most enchanting and adventuresome books since Lord of the Rings.

The Cell By Stephen King

There are one hundred and ninety-three million cell phones and counting in the United States alone. The only people in the world who have a chance to survive are the ones without cell phones. "Can you hear me now?" is a common expression in this book that answers with a vengeance. There is no escaping the nightmare of the day cell phones were the worlds worst killer.
This story is very haunting and strange. The story line changes in a hurry throughout the story. The day cell phones were the worlds worst killer seems to be quite a threat. If all cell phones really did do this to humans it would be a very scary world. Stephen King explains and describes what he sees happining with cell phones in this story very well. This is a book to keep you wondering...
