Analysis Of The Book ' The Inheritance Cycle ' By Christopher Paolini

Brisinger

Brisinger, although hard to pronounce is one of the best books I’ve read. Other than the odd names, this book is surprisingly easy read. This book is the third book of the Inheritance cycle, written by Christopher Paolini. This book is an action packed thriller to the end, full of dragon characters, magic, and sword fighting. If you are into fantasy at all this book series is for you.

I picked this book because it is one of my favorite books of all time.I haven’t read this book recently, in the last year or two, so I decided to reread it and try to look more at the finer points of his writing, like symbolism. I really did this because I was curious to see if age and maturity had anything to do with how we perceive material.

The dialogue is also well matched to the characters themselves, as in characters who started serious stayed serious, while character that start sarcastically stay sarcastically. Without this impressive level of dialogue, the characterization of this book would suffer immensely.

Trying to read this book again without biases was difficult but rewarding. Reading this book again really made me realize what it was I fell in love with in the first place. The vivid descriptions, thoughtful dialogue, and fast paced action really feed your senses. This book feeds the imagination, the body and the soul.
