Narrado por: Gerard Doyle

Brought to you by Penguin.

Gerrard Shale's reading turns this magnificent adventure into a thrilling audiobook for fans of all ages.

When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realises he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.

Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller 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....

amazing!!!

the narrator was awesome,the book was lovely although it took a long time to finish because I was always busy

Gran historia

La narración es excelente y la historia llena de aventuras y fantasía. me encantó. Muy bien escrita y muy bien narrada.

Inspired by those who came before.

Would you listen to Eragon - Part One again? Why?

I quite enjoyed the story and loved the narration by Gerrard Doyle.

What did you like best about this story?

Sooooo much better than the movie. A good start to what appears to be a great Fantasy series.

Which character – as performed by Gerrard Doyle – was your favorite?

Loved the portrayal of Brom, loved the character in the movie as portrayed by Jeremy Irons (a most underutilised actor) and it was great to see him fleshed out in the book and greatly portrayed by Gerrard.

Any additional comments?

The story and so many things in this book are obviously inspired by Tolkiens' works, but done with a obvious love of the original source and with just the right spin to make it his own world, an incredible feat for any author let alone a 16 year old novice (I believe that's how old Mr Paolini was when he finished Eragon).I look forward to sharing this book with my children as they grow older as it is a fine addition to anyone who loves Dragons and the bond they can have with their riders.

I wonder if Anne McCaffrey ever read Eragon?

Eragon - a favourite story comes to life

Would you listen to Eragon - Part One again? Why?

Yes, this is an audio book I will listen to over and over again as well loved characters come to life. Gerrard Doyle has a beautiful voice and the life he instills in his characters makes thems so much more real - and there are quite a few.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed how you share Eragons journey from simple farm boy to Dragon Rider and I love Saphira's development and the sense of humour and possessiveness she has for Eragon. The whole world that you are introduced to, the magic, elves, dwarfs, dragons and intrigues are thoroughly enjoyable.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where Saphira and Eragon drink too much mead and Saphira belches a huge flame before passing out

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Come and experience the re-birth of a legend and one man's journey from innocent farm boy to fierce Dragon Rider

Any additional comments?

The movie that was made would have been a huge success if the film makers had stayed true to the characters in the book. It's the reason the Harry Potter and Twilight transition from book to film was so successful - the films stayed true to the characters and story lines whereas with Eragon the characters in the film had, at best, only a vague resemblance to the detailed descriptions of the characters in the book (& Arya looked nothing like her description in the book) and, if you had not read the books, the film made no sense at all

Just phenomebal

loved the show. The narrator is fantastic with pronunciations and his narration skills.
Cannot wait to listen to the next book.

One of the very best books I have ever read

it is the best book ever so wonderful. it stirs up emotions guide you to all the places eragon goes.

The reading is a bit off

The dragons voice just doesn't suit. Unsure why the performer chose to make the voice sound like that

Fantastic

Incredible story, a great escape, magic, dragons, swords and war, what else could you want.
The voice for the dragon was really over done, doesn't fit her or her personality, but still an epic tale.

Brilliant

This is one of my fav books.
The narrator is pretty good and the storyline is
"Brilliant"

Good book

Very well read apart from the voice of the dragon Saphira which sounds like the Cookie Monster
