Eragon pages 1-38

The story was basically about a boy named Eragon, who went to go buy some meat for his family. When he was talking to the guy selling meat, Eragon pulled out a spherical ball looking thing and asked the trader how much it would be worth. The trader told him that it wouldn't be a deal. Eragon went home and few days later, he found out that the sphere started to crack. Eragon then found out it was an egg, but then the animal inside the egg was a dragon. Eragon couldn't believed what happened. I think the section I read was good because it caught my attention when Christopher Paolini started to describe what was going on with the egg. I also like it how the story is set up in the beginning. He finds a sphere and doesn't know what it is, until it starts hatching. That was a good story set up.
