But he HEAVILY adapted them to his own work.

Things that copy the ideas of a noble, beautiful (to humans), immortal, etc. Elven race *are* copying Tolkien, and he *definitely* deserves credit for them. Same thing with a race of stubborn yet loyal and honorable Dwarves. Once again, the concept is heavily modified by Tolkien.

And don't even get me started on lumping those three guys in a world together with humans and having somebody make a journey concerning all the races through said world. THAT'S just plain Tolkien ripoff.

But Eragon was a nice read regardless.
