They don't actually give much information about the book, or if they do (like the Harry Potter covers), you won't understand the significance of the cover until you actually read the book.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-79300840249136122262011-07-10T19:53:18.725-05:002011-07-10T19:53:18.725-05:00Ugh, I agree, Eragon was terrible compared to the ...Ugh, I agree, Eragon was terrible compared to the book. I also think that you are right about covers -there are very few books with covers that actually sum up the entire book perfectly in one picture.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127447015151066065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-83533702351720436442011-07-10T16:54:17.864-05:002011-07-10T16:54:17.864-05:00Pirates got it right.

Why are people so obsessed with rules??? :P lol...<br /><br />The thing that annoyed me most about the Eragon movie was how they made it virtually impossible to do a sequel. No Eldest = no cool red dragon or anything... :(<br /><br />I wouldn't say boys read less; it's just less acceptable for them to be seen reading because of the whole "active" thing. Which is silly. And sexist. Most of the titles I mentioned were series--Pendragon has 10 books! And my ADHD brother read all of them! Maybe guys just have troulbe finding books, but once they find something they love they stick with it.<br /><br />Glad to have answered your questions, Jess :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-88848557197071581592011-07-10T15:59:10.097-05:002011-07-10T15:59:10.097-05:00I'm the same about titles, though they don'...I'm the same about titles, though they don't stop me from reading a book, I just don't like it when people ask me what I'm reading and then give me a strange look when I respond. My favorite reaction is when I'm reading a fantasy or dystopian book and someone asks me what I'm reading and what it's about, and when I tell them, they respond with, "That's... weird." <br /><br />But usually those are the same girls who adore Twilight. Go figure.<br /><br />And I hate the whole "boys need to play sports and be active" thing, and I agree with you, that's probably part of why boys read less.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115091011126786039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-21267880729423163822011-07-10T07:51:47.427-05:002011-07-10T07:51:47.427-05:00Awesome answers!

I heard Elizabeth's voice in my head when I got to that part. :D <br /><br />I mentioned Eragon in my response as well. I feel kind of bad because that movie could have been so much more than it was.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918987890132222901noreply@blogger.com
