Kippurbird (also known as Kippur) is the author of the Eragon Sporkings site and has analyzed several bad books chapter by chapter. He is also co-author of the Urban Fantasy in progress Death God Rising.

Books analyzed include:

• Eragon
• Eldest
• Brisingr (That particular sporking took two years to finish!)
• Touching Spirit Bear
• The Fifth Sorceress
• The DaVinci Code
• Anita Blake: Danse Macabre
• Maximum Ride
• Twilight (Note: It's not on the actual site, but can be found on his LiveJournal.)

Kippur's various sporkings provide examples of the following tropes:

• Accentuate the Negative: In a good way.
• Deadpan Snarker: Kippur.
• Drinking Game: The sporkings of the first few chapters of Brisingr tally the drinks you should take if playing.
• Follow the Leader: Kippurbird has a handful of other sporkers on his site, who review a variety of books. He is also very encouraging about it.
• The Nicknamer: Kippur himself when it comes to unimportant and/or uninteresting characters. ("Dwarf" anyone?)
• Spork: Obviously.
