Possible, but it never says in the books. I guess Murtagh would be free. Still, if he weren't, what do you think would happen then?

its Galbatorix the country is called Alageasia.
as to how Eragon could raise someone from the dead. My theory is he draw on nature for the power and would probably create a vast wasteland in the process but he could do it; not to mention the possibilitie that if only murtagh were killed he [Eragon] might be able to sync up with Thorn (Murtagh's dragon) for even more power.

Wait, there's a place called Asgardia? Rip off!
Speaking of rip-offs, I've heard Eragon borrows quite heavily from Tolkien. For those of you who have read it, is this true or are people just being mean?

And yes it is heavily influenced by patron saint of fantasy Tolkien but to Paolini's credit he has created some fairly original creatures and with the exception of a few chapters a good story.

Yeah, some parts I'd like to just replace with Sapphira getting drunk so Eragon has to ask what happened...

Tolken used Norse ideas involveing dwarves mostly (That I can see)
Anyway Eragon is not a book I'd recmend but if you've read it it's fun to talk about... It's entirely up to you however. And would a drunk dragon breath fire better from all the flamable drink?

Ehh... if you don't recommend it, then I won't bother. Maybe later, after I've read my current book list. I do have a copy since my fiance accidentally stole one from his landlord's son.

Well, some of his things were in his room, which the landlord needed to rent out, so they put it all in a box for him, which he later picked up. It seems that the son left his book in his box - my fiance only found it later when he unpacked his box.
