Thanks

Hi to all….

Thank you for your support so far on this blog. It was a great experience when this blog started. I have been having a lot of visitors and learned a lot in this process. I have been working a lot for over the past 4 years and I deserve a break. I will be back. But my blog would be in the mean time taken care by my friend because I don’t want to disappoint my fellow blogger’s and readers. I hope you would extend the same support and coordination that you have given me.

Thanks again….
Regards

Brisingr (Inheritance Book 3)

Hardcover: 784 pages
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers (September 20, 2008)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0375826726

Product Dimensions: 9.1 x 6.2 x 1.9 inches

Seriously a triology was supposed to be three part book but when I heard the Inheritance triology would be longer i was disappointed. When I read Eragon and it was good enough to get me to read Eldest, I read Eldest and I really liked how the story was progressing, I just finished Brisinger and let’s just say I wish i hadn’t been so desperate to read the book. Now I’m questioning if I should even bother with the last book. The book can pretty much be summed up into a few major plot points with a TON of filler in between. The filler I can deal with though.
