I'm 16-not a child but I still love reading fairytales (I'm not sure about Eragon,maybe it belongs to another genres)and I read it instead of studying for my grade 10 entrance exam !!!!!! Luckily,I passed the entrance exam and finished Eragon ^^

About the film,I hate Arya.The actress acted well but didn't fit with Paolini description.Anyway,I watched it but I choose to read books again,not the film T_T
