Eragon by Christopher Paolini. The first of what became 4 books of the epic fantasy series Inheritance Cycle. I give up (almost 200 pages in). I just didn't care about any of the characters and found myself preferring to work rather than sneak in a bit more reading time. It seemed to be all the standard fantasy tropes gathered together but without much flair or originality. Certainly it is an impressive work for a fifteen year old, as apparently the author was when he started writing this, but ... the result hasn't worked for me so I'm raising the white flag and moving on.
