Query: the wise old mentor and the young gifted student

I came lately to this book having resisted buying it for years even though I have a weakness for stories about dragons.From the first chapter I saw, Merlin and Arthur, Obi Wan and Anniken and Gandolf and Fodor.Gil'ead reminded me of Gilead of Stephen King's THE DARK TOWER series.I agree with another reviewer that if an adult had written this book it would have been rejected out of hand as a conglomeration of the works of other authors with out the polish and style of the originals.I do like Saphira (I said I have a weakness for dragons) and I wouldn't mind having her by my side. She is wiser than Eragon and more intersting.Also because the original cover art showed the title as Eragon and then showed a dragon's head, I keep forgetting that Eragon is not the dragon's name, but the name of the uber-youth.By the way, I am way way over the age of 13.
