Epurrnet was right there!

Great! It evens out a little with space travel sections, but when it’s up and running it’s very fast.

I actually didn’t know about that! This was the first book of his I’ve read. Now I’m curious to experience just how bad Eragon was…

To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars - one of the most action-packed books I’ve read, even with a few lengthy “hibernation” space travel sections. Felt like an entire trilogy happening in a single book. Seems prime for a movie treatment, but would also be next to impossible to do in a single movie without completely butchering.
