Hunt for Red October though film wasn't bad at all, but the book was mediocre, boring and offputting.

I don't know about worse, but the Eragon books and movie are equally terrible.
I'm not gonna go claiming that the Eragon books deserve a prize, but I loved them as a kid, and comparing them as equals to that movie is bordering on insanity.
Eragon was my first foray into proper swords and sorcery fantasy after Harry Potter.
Are the books really that bad in your opinion? By no means do they reinvent the wheel, but I enjoyed the magic system and enjoyed the aspect of Dragon + Rider and that relationship we see between the two.
I havenβt read much other Fantasy besides LotR and Stormlight Archive, but I enjoy the Inheritance Cycle.
