If you overshoot and fall into a depression, just read Eragon once or twice, and you'll be back in fighting shape.
Didn't read the book but i heard it was worse than the movie, that is downright awful, isn't it usually vice versa, a fine example of that would be Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I was so depressed when i watched the movie i had to read the book to get my mood back up, god bless that man, shame he died before writing the 6th book of his trilogy *I am not making it up, that is what it is actually called*.
Imagine Star Wars. Got it? Good. Now remove all the flaws from Luke and Leia's characters, remove Han Solo from the equation for all but 1/8th of the first book and Chewbacca for the whole thing; and turn Han into a Sith Lord in
The Empire Strikes Back. Now imagine Obi-wan isn't an interesting character and is actually Luke's dad. Now make Luke an unrepentent mass-murdering psychopath who literally believes that everyone with different opinions or methods of operation should die, while he himself is nothing less than Jesus. Now replace Jedi with telepathic warrior-wizards...on DRAGONS. Now sprinkle the entire thing with enviromental messages that make
Ferngully look subtle, and add some equally blatant anti-theology messages. Now imagine that the writer doesn't really give a shit about any of that and instead decided to write an entire book that let him jerk off to his dragon fetish while pretending he's an elf.
Gentleman, I give you
Eragon.
