He should have stopped there. If anything, his skills have deteriorated throughout this series to a point where the effort to turn each page in this book feels like I'm lifting a station wagon.
  I won't go on and on as it is apparent that this book has turned enough people against St. Christopher of Paolini, but I just want to... more info
