Eragon (Inheritance, Bk 1)

Absolutely fascinating world and quite believable. Yes, it is the typical young farm boy hero in over his head against the evil, tyrannical ruler, but the setting and the races are just atypical enough to be fascinating (elves more western than european for instance). Saphira (the dragon) is wonderful--a book to revisit often...this series begins here but before it ends, can easily stand tall next to Harry Potter and need not feel ashamed in the company of The Lord of the Rings or The Chronicles of Narnia.
