Query: Improvement over the first...but that's not saying much

Eragon was a terribly written book. Full of cliches, flat characters, and an amazing amount of grammatical errors, Paolini failed to impress me. In the second book, Eldest, Paolini makes huge strides as author. Except now he's moved from a child's writing to that of your standard fan fiction author. Eldest doesn't have the grammatical errors anymore, but pushes ahead with deux ex machina, improbable occurrences, and the most vapid love story sequence you'll see since Star Wars II. This is the kind of book you read to laugh at, so check out some passages while at the library or bookstore--just don't pay for it.
