I begun reading them. After 50 pages, I lost interest. I asked a friend how it goes, since he read it, and he was like “Please don’t let me relive the torture.” It’s that bad.

And you know why? The lad wasn’t trying to be original. He was a kid writing for fun, who admits to having used/borrowed elements he enjoyed from what he’d read in the past. He didn’t mean the thing to be published. His parents were the ones who encouraged that to happen. And when you see the series as somebody’s extended daydreams starting when he was 15, it’s a whole lot better than if you expect it to be the world’s next literary miracle.

It’s the movie. I’m almost 100% sure of that.

Neverending Story wasn’t the only story Paolini “borrowed” from. Anne McCaffrey, Piers Anthony, Andre Norton, Terry Brooks, just to name a few… There are numerous concepts and plot points in his books that were created by these authors long before Paolini was born!

Clearly you’ve never seen the third. The second one is AMAZING in comparison once you watch the third. xD

(Actually, the second one follows the book more than the first. I just have to add that.)

Er…The same way Mother Gothel knew to sing to a flower to gain immortality?

Hm, I’ve read both Inheritance and The Neverending Story, I don’t remember any similarities…? I mean, besides there being dragons and a boy…
Inheritance was stupid enough on its own. I mean, the two-page-long bit about that one guy’s fingernails was completely original, and look how stupid it is. The man himself doesn’t serve any significance, and he’s killed offscreen a couple chapters later. I figured if Paolini’s going to take the time to write two entire pages (two ENTIRE pages…I’m sorry, I can’t get over that) to describe one man’s shiny fingernails, they had better the heck SERVE A PURPOSE IN THE STORY….

Oddly enough the wife told me she had never seen the movie several weeks ago. Bought it and watched it this weekend. Not only did she realize she had seen it but she totally got sucked back in again.
