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?

I was thinking of buying it, but I don't think I will now. Can't stand poor writing ... it destroys all the joy.

Yes, exactly. I keep trying to get into the story, but I'm sidetracked by the quality of the writing. Which is too bad, because I think it does have good plot. If only the editor had waited a bit longer to publish it, to make the writing quality match the author's ideas.
