Great link The Sixth Wizard! That is an exceptional essay. I too have been liking those books less and less as of late; the actions of both Eragon and the Varden are really getting out of hand. Bunch of nutters.

And for an admirer of Tolkien, Paolini has a remarkably poor grasp of what Tolkien's works are really about. He should consider doing less blatant plagiarism (It's repulsive) and more moral and ethics analysis. His books have turned from semi-literature (well, ok they were never really literature) to an extended horror flick - one glorified blood-bath after another.
