Finished Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

Posted in books on November 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Okay — this is a honking big book — 750 pages (paper form) or right around 28 hours of listening time.  Frankly I think some could have been cut or trimmed…..the Dwarf council had parts that were mind numbing….But I think Paolini’s editor is really impressed with her client.  And really he’s a pretty darn [...]
