Question

[piplover]

I just started reading Eragon since I've heard so much about it and the movie looked really good. But I'm only three pages in and I have a question: does the writing get better? Because it feels like I'm reading something written in high school. I don't want to be mean, and I'm sure the plot is really good - but so far the writing is so sub - par that I don't know if I can finish the chapter let alone the book. So, please, does the writing get better?

something written in high school

I think there was a big thing about the author being quite young, like fifteen or something, when he wrote it.

Ahh, that would explain why if feels like something written in high school. Still - that's what editors are for! Oh, well. I'll try to muddle through, but - I feel like I should be grading again!
