I read Eragon, but after I finished, I looked back and realized I didn't like many of the characters. I suppose I liked Murtagh, because he has a "noticeable back indentation" like me, and I can relate to his sufferings(although he probably doesn't feel pain from it).
Saphira I didn't like. I'll admit they said dragons mature faster than humans, but when she starts acting more authoritive than Eragon and everyone else, it got annoying, plus she used her size and strength to get her way all the time. That wouldn't be so bad if she wasn't a girl dragon. Not to sound sexist or anything, but girls are romantic, clever, puzzle-solvers with the looks and usually are more mature, and boys just hit each other. When girls take over the "hitting" department, what do we have left? I want to see a male dragon soon, because it seems girl dragons are everywhere, from Eragon to Shrek to Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher(didn't read that last one). I hope they don't make the "She-Ninja Turtles".
