The Eragon books are an unasahamed knockoff of Tolkein. A cilche-riddled, poorly written, tropey, dopey travesty.

Weren't they written by someone in the 16 years old range? They were not good books but it is still impressive for a teenager to have the discipline actually create a finished work. They definitely played up that angle when marketing the books.
