Adventures in Reading

I’m usually quite excited to see the film adaptation of a book. I tend to be careful in what I expect: not exactly the book verbatim but also not my idea of an adaptation. For Eragon, I had never read the book, though it has been much recommended, and wasn’t sure what I was getting into. It was terrible! Despite my love and adoration for fantasy movies at all ends of the spectrum (including ridiculously bad) I could not stomach Eragon and turned it off half way through. I have been assured that the book is the far superior option, but I may continue to stick with other reading material.
