Christopher Paolini

Christopher Paolini is the author of the Inheritance Cycle. He is noted for his urple prose, bad characterization, Gary Stu "hero", Cat-On-The-Keyboard Names, and tendency to not have a plot. He has a penchant for stealing plots and concepts from well-known authors, the most evident of them being George Lucas and J.R.R. Tolkien.

Paolini himself is seen as rather arrogant and presumptuous. This may have been caused by gaining fame at such a young age (having published his first book, Eragon, at age sixteen.
