I think I'm the only person who enjoyed this series, ending included.

Every couple of months when I think about it I check on if Paolini has announced a new book, either a new Eragon or anything else. In fact, I was in Barns and Noble last week when I thought to check again and couldn't find anything about something new.
I'm excited. I read the first book when I was in the 8th grade (I'm 29 now) and I love the series. I eagerly awaited the next book after flying through a new release. I recognize that it isn't exactly original writing and that it has plenty of faults but it was always fun to read and expect this new book to be the same.

So, I didn't like Eragon. I really tried to, but it didn't click for me.
But I one time, I made the mistake several years ago of taking shit about it on reddit and then who should respond to my comment but Chris Paolini himself! He was super cool about it and basically fully acknowledged that it wasn't very good, but reminded me that he wrote it when he was 15.
I felt like the world's biggest douchebag and cowardly deleted my comment, which I wish I hadn't done in retrospect. I might not have enjoyed his most popular book, but Paolini himself is a cool dude and I have huge respect for anyone who can publicly acknowledge something like that. He also still interacts with the fans of the Inheritance Cycle, which is really cool knowing that he's otherwise outgrown it. He's a fucking hero.
