Nation
“Nation” is more than a book about two lost teenagers trying to rebuild their world after a tsunami tears it apart. It is more than a book about how tragedy shapes and molds our lives. It is also a book about the relationship between science and religion.
The Audacity of Hope
“The Audacity of Hope” is one of the best-selling political books in our nation. It was released in 2006, well before our current president began his official run for office. In “The Audacity of Hope,” Barack Obama tries to explain the way he sees politics.
Everlost
While “Everlost” never reached the astronomical sales figures of J.K. Rawlings “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” or Stephenie Meyer’s “Breaking Dawn,” it is clearly one of the best teen novels of the last year that deals with death and dying.
Brisingr
The newest installment in Christopher Paolini’s “Inheritance Cycle” is looking a bit wan in light of the sales figures posted by the “Twilight” series. But “Brisingr” still set a Random House record by selling 550,000 copies of the book in the first day.
Eldest
“Eldest” is the New York Times Bestselling sequel to New York Times Bestseller “Eragon.” Christopher Paolini released this mammoth book on August 23, 2005, only three years after publishing “Eragon.”
Twilight
“Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer topped the “New York Times” bestseller list. Production is underway on a major movie adaptation due in November. The book is on “Teen People’s” Hot List, and it made the “Publishers Weekly” Best Book of the Year. It also the first in a four-book series. So what is all the fuss about?
The Shack
“The Shack” is a #1 New York Times Bestseller with over a million copies in print and a movie adaptation on the way. It is endorsed by celebrities and some Christian teachers and scholars. But it has also by labeled as heresy by other well-respected pastors and writers. “The Shack” may be the most controversial book since “The Da Vinci Code.”
Eragon Book Review
It is rare for a 15-year-old to write a book. It is even more rare for his father to own a publishing company that will publish it. However, to see a major publisher pick that small-time book up and then have the book reach the top of the New York Times Bestseller list is something we may only see once in our lifetimes. That is the story of Christopher Paolini and his first novel,“Eragon.”
