I hate that it's 4 books now. It said it was a trilogy!
This is how publishers make money. Did you ever hear of the book Vampirates? My sis said that there were only 1 or 2 books, but now there are more (if 1, now 2 books and if 2, now 3).

Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy was also broken up into four books, but I think they only broke them up for the paper back versions. I'm not sure though, it could have been hardcovers too. I heard that the reason was because, at least for the paperbacks, that the book was too long and the books wouldn't be bound well with that many pages. Don't know though. It's kind of annoying.

Yeah, I like it. It was great. Still have it. Shall I give a summary?
Two twins are left orphans when their dad dies. Their dad came back from the sea one day and mysteriously brought them two, so the twins could not go to their mom. So they go on a boat and go overboard (forgot how). Connor gets picked up by a normal pirate ship and Grace by the Vampirates ship. Then they try to reunite but at the end when they hug on the Vampirate ship and a guy is ferious at Connor, the first book ends.
It's something like that.

Try The Summoner: The Chronicles of a Necromancer... you will be most pleased with it...
Here is a link to the books main site and a sample chapter is on there as well... closer to the bottom....
I was most surprised at this book... I thought it had some very cool twist and turns in it...
The next book in the series is also coming out soon and it is called The Blood King....
Please give it a a go it is only ten bucks and well worth it...
here is that link

Well, since you like Eragon, you might like-
The Banned and the Banished series, by James Clemens (5 books total)
A story about a girl named Elena--a young witch just discovering her powers--and her quest to save the land she lives in from the mysterious Dark Lord. To help her is a motley group including a one-armed swordsman with a hidden past, two shapeshifters stuck in their current forms (a wolf and a man) until they discover a cure, a nymphai, a half-ogre, a mountain man, and many many more. The bad guys are creepy. The plot moves very quickly with lots and lots of action. I liked this series a lot. Wit'ch Fire is the first book (and my least favorite, though I still liked it a lot).
The Princess Bride, by William Goldman
You've probably seen the movie already, but I would still recommend the book. The book gives more background for the characters and maintains the humor found in the movie. If you're unfamiliar with the movie, then here's a brief description of both the movie and the book: Buttercup loves Westley, but she thinks Westley is now dead so she plans to marry the thoroughly unlikeable Prince Humperdinck. Someone, however, plans to have her killed, and so they hire Fezzik, Vizzini, and Inigo to kidnap her. As they carry her off they are pursued by a mysterious man in black. The whole story is a comedy, and a very funny one at that. One of my favorites.
The Pendragon Adventure series, by D. J. MacHale (10 books projected, 8 books published so far)
The Pendragon Adventure starts off with The Merchant of Death, where Bobby discovers that his Uncle Press is a Traveler, and so is he. Travelers are people who can travel through time and space. They ride through 'flumes' to travel to different territories where there will soon be a turning point. Each territories turning point will either lead the territory into prosperity or destruction--it is up to the Travelers to make sure the territory turns to the positive. To thwart the Travelers, however, is a creature named Saint Dane. The Travelers don't know what he is, but they do know that Saint Dane's goal is to make sure each of the territories' turning points turn out badly. It's a fun series that matures as it progresses.
The Last Unicorn, by Peter S. Beagle
A story about the last free unicorn who sets out on a quest to find out what happened to the other unicorns. To help her she has--not the usual fantasy comrades--but a woefully inept magician and a scullery maid. Their quest leads them to King Hagrid's castle, where, well, that would give away the story
I already mentioned this one, but you might also like it,
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series, by Tad Williams (4 books)
All the fantasy elements are there- a coming evil, dragons, elves, trolls, giants, epic battles, exhausting journeys, and a normal boy thrust into the middle of the fight where he must discover his potential to help save the land. Though it was a bit slow at times, I think it's a must-read for the fantasy fan.

The only ones that I got out of that list are the Pendragon books and I sure love them.
