The German press is not friendly to me. I can compare it to the US press. I had 25 percent really bad reviews, like, "Oh, a Boll movie. Typical trash." But some said it was "by far Boll`s best movie." They compared it to, not "Lord of the Rings," but something weaker like "Eragon."
- Uwe BollOne of the players was named Eragon, ... Much to my horror, he was actually pretty good and I found a message flashed across the screen -- `You have been killed by Eragon.` That was when I realized how big this has gotten.
- Christopher PaoliniEragon started as me but ended up evolving into his very own character, ... Even as he has gone through his coming-of-age story, the process of writing and publishing these novels has been my own coming-of-age story. There are parallels between my own experience and Eragon`s, but fortunately, I don`t have people charging at me with swords.
- Christopher PaoliniAnd what I hoped, and what I still hope, is that within those familiar elements I`m able to provide a unique twist. If there`s anything that`s truly unique about the series, what I`m most proud of is Eragon`s relationship with Saphira.
