What is going on? First Mr. Paolini fakes us out by making the series a set of four books rather than a trilogy. I guess thats okay but what bugs me is WHY IS HE WASTING HIS TIME WITH A 32 PAGE "GUIDE" WHEN ALL WE WANT IS THE NEXT BOOK? I just do not understand the logic in this.

I am in love with this. The artwork is stunning and is the perfect book to further feed Inheritance Cycle fans' imaginations.
Many reviews of this book say it is time wasted when Christopher should be writing the fourth installment of his series, but I disagree. Writing the final book is easier said than done and I rather imagine he needed something to do during some inevitable writer's block sessions. I too am anxiously awaiting the final book but that does not mean THIS one is a waste of time. It is extremely fascinating and highly recommended just for fun.

I have not bought this yet, but I have looked at it in person and I would love to own it. As not only do I find these books to be fun to look at and read, but because I am a HUGE Inheritance fan. And for those that said this is a waste of time and for Paolini to write faster really need to show a little respect. Writing a good book, or a good series at that which the Inheritance Cycle is, takes TIME. If you want the fourth book to be everything you were hoping for and to be a great read like the first three you need to be patient. I'd love to read the fourth book now, but I also know that writing takes time. And to say that Paolini tricked us by turning it into a Cycle after it was a Trilogy is a bit bold. I'm quite happy it's one book longer as that means I get another chance to read about these fantastic characters and it also spikes my curiosity as to all the things Paolini couldn't fit into three long books. If you are a true Inheritance Fan, you will understand the hard work Paolini is doing and wait patiently like the rest of us.

Beautifully written and illustrated! The book contains beautiful drawings, things to touch, see and feel in order to help the young reader to better understand and visualize Christopher Paolini's fantasy world of Alagaesia, written as seen through Eragon's eyes. "Eragon's Guide to Alagaesia" is also very informative and helps the young reader to both identify with and learn about the unusual people and characters dwelling within Alagaesia. This book is a marvelous companion to the book, "Eragon", and is a must for any young reader who wants to experience Eragon's Alagaesia beyond simply reading the book or seeing the movie.

Some say Paolini shouldn't have written this and concentrated on the fourth book, but it helps understand what happens in various locations (ex. Ellesmera, Farthen Dur). The picture of Farthen Dur helped me the most!

If you have read Christopher Paolini's other books about Eragon and Alagaesia, then this is a must to add to your collection. I can't wait for his next book to be out later this year!

This is a fun book for ERagon fans. I don't think there is much new knowledge you gain from it. I gave it to my 8 year old for Christmas. He loved it. I originally bought it for my 13 year old who loves the Eragon books, but decided it was too young for him.

I purchased 2 of these books, one for each of my grandsons who are Paolini fans. The book is beautiful and detailed. I highly recommend it.

I purchased this book as a gift for a friend. I was so very pleased with the graphics and the contents - all the "hands on" applications within is great. It puts a face to many characters to make the story seem more real. My friend was so thrilled all she could say was, "this is so awesome!".

I was hoping that the writing and information would include a large amount of material that was not covered in the books. I was disappointed to find that most of the information was nothing that I didn't already know from reading the books. However, the artwork is great to have and the fold-outs and other extra items help make this book worth having. If you are a fan of the series then I would say that you should definitely purchase this book.

Fun, but where is the rest of the story. How long do we have to wait on news about the end of the story. I read them all on a suggestion of my son and now I have waited over a year to finish the story. please
