I must have liked the first book since I read the second and must have liked it enough to want to read the third but for some reason, so far, I haven't found Brisingr to be very good.
The writing is mediocre and Eragon is really unlikable. I'll continue to read but if the book doesn't get any better I doubt I'll spend my money on the fourth one.
Were the first two really this bad and if so, why do I remember liking them?
