Wizard of words writes away

BETHESDA, Md. - Christopher Paolini looks a little like Harry Potter. And like the boy wizard, Paolini's bespectacled face and unassuming demeanor mask a magical life. But while Potter's talents are the fictional imaginings of J.K. Rowling, Paolini's talents are grounded in the real world.

When such a young person tops success like Paolini does it makes me wish that I had done more with my own writings when I was younger.

DRAGONS AND MAGIC ENTHRALL THE READERS OF ONGOING TRILOGY OF BOOKS

Christopher Paolini believes in magic -- the magic of words and stories that can create awe, impart wisdom, generate wonder, bubble with emotion. But what about magic in his own life? "All I know is that if I wrote a book about what has happened to me, no one would believe it."

When anyone that young can accomplish a great goal as that I do wonder what I could have done had I had the motivation and vision to do it at that age.

Has anyone read this book yet? I almost bought it at the bookstore today but decided against it just because I have not had an opportunity to get the first book of the trilogy and for some reason I feel bad about not reading the books in order. Not sure why that is...

I have read both books that he has published. I found them to be a nice read. I did think the second book was a bit slow in the middle but I still enjoyed the read very much. I am waiting now for the third book of his to come out. You can tell a difference in his writing from the first to the second book.
