Sandstorm - James Rollins

  Hm, I haven't read a Clive Cussler book yet.  My guy has his books.  One of his fav authors.

Actually I should have said "need to read more from cover to cover".

JJ

Eldest -  Christopher Paolini

  (It's my kid's book, but it's good)

Is that the sequel to Eragon or prequel?  Have you read Eragon JJ?

Meh. I read Eragorn. It was... ok. It hasn't wowed me completely yet and I'm still debating whether to read the second book.

  I've FINALLY (!!!) completed the Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan. Onto the fifth book now, The Flames of Tar Varlon???

I couldn't get into the Eragon book as well.  I heard that the movie sucked.

 You have to remember that the book is for juveniles so has a simple plot.  I haven't see the movie as I always read the book first but I can't see that it would transfer into a good movie.

 I finished this book in July . I didn't enjoy it because  I'd seen the musical.   I wish I'd known there was a book before I we went to the musical it would have been more enjoyable to read the book first!

Lise

Yep. The movie sucked. The book is better then again, it's written by a tween so it's not too difficult to stomach the language. The kid's got potential though... I'm sure in later years he'll develop more writing ability which will put him up there with Piers Anthony, Robert Jordan and Anne McCaffrey.

  My book's been better than so far. Good stuff.
