God damn, that book sucked so much ass. Anti-feminist, adolescent female wish fulfillment. Plus, bad writing and characterization. It doesn't get much worse than that.
Quite. I've read bits here and there and felt dirty afterwards. My little sisters are reading them - and love them - and I have to very carefully tell the girls that they are bad books. Poor young minds, polluted forever.

I'm so full of hate I hated Eragon without even reading it.
