Christopher Paolini is the author of Eragon, The Eldest and other books. I find Christopher Paolini's style of writing captivating. This means that i am drawn into the books and can not stop reading until i finish it.
The third inheritance book will likely be just as much of a success
Eh. His writing is okay. Personally, am not a huge fan of his works but if there's nothing better around, I'll read something by him.
it is really you love it or dont style of writing
Christopher Paolini may have room to grow when it comes to literary prowess, but dont forget he is young, in his early twenties. He wrote Eragon when he was 19, and that is quite the achievement. Life will only make him, and as a result, his writing, more rich.
The Inheritance series, to me, seems like a blatant ripoff of LOTR. I mean, I can see some very obvious parallels between the two series. And friends of mine who have read it and have seen Star Wars state that it is also a ripoff of the Star Wars plot. Needless to say, I am not a fan of Paolini's books.
I have to admit that it seems like he just mixed all the classics like Lord Of the Rings, some fairly tales etc. together, but it is still good and fun to read. However, I forgot everything that happened about 2 days after I was done reading it.
I've never read any of his books, but if the kid is a bit of a pasticheur then who can really blame him at that age. I have , though, skim-read a few paragraphs, and wasn't a huge fan of his style.
i LOVE his books. They're awesome. i've read eragon and eldest several times and i really get into his books. I guess some bits of his writing do seem not up to the adult standard such as tolkein but he has room to improve greatly and i'm really looking forward to the third book.

Unfortunately a lot of fantasy writing seems to be rehashing of old ideas. Which is pretty strange considering the only limit in this genre is the imagination. The books that really stand out are ones that are written well, rather than the novelty of the ideas. You cant say too much about proper character development and plot design.
