Terry pratchett is a more houmours book, especially with Carrot, he arrives in guards guards, i find the funny, and i love Death, Night Watch is good, the books based on the Night WAtch are good, i dont like all his books though.
I didnt really like the last few hp books, i found them a lot more boring. The Lotrs books i found boring, parts were good, but hardly any of it stuck in my head, i know what i know due to the films, and they were too long

I love LOTR. I think it is well written and the characters are wonderful and thought the descriptions are long, they are beautiful.

[owleye]

the lotrs writtings and descriptions are really good, but was overwelming, they were too much to process all at once, it made it too complicated,

[Savendia]

Well, I can see that. they are sort of long...:rolleyes::p:D

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!!!

It remins me of Terry Pratchett in so many ways... :cool: Or should I say Terry Pratchett reminds me of Hitchhikers?

[Savendia]

I love that book!

[Icelands]

1) Stephenie Meyer's ~ breaking dawn and midnight sun
2)Alison Croggon's ~ The singing
3)christopher Paolini's ~ Brisingr

I'm tooooo~~~~~~~~oooo excited lol i can't wait xxx


LOL, I'm waiting for those too. Except for Brisingr. Christopher Paolini does a good job for his age-- but the operative words being: for his age. He isn't original at all and Eragon seems like a Marty Sue. Plotline is the exact same as every other epic fantasy--which Pellinor follows, too, mind you, but it has unconventional and well-drawn characters to set it apart.

Yes I agree but I only read books if I like the ending!! and i didnt like the ending to soapy - yes i mean soapy-

Ugh. Don't even get me started on the HP7 epilogue. (But you already have, so you'll suffer through my rant now...LOL.) First of all, who names two of their kids after their parents? I understand maybe one kid, or maybe both with a middle name of their parents or something like that, but having your parents James and Lily, and your CHILDREN James and Lily? C'mon. And Albus Severus. I don't even need to say anything more. Once again, one of the names would suffice, or two of them spread throughout the three, but to saddle one kid with both? Ridiculous.

Second of all, the names just got CONFUSING. I had no idea who Victoire was for a long time and it took me forever to figure out which generation was which. And I even forgot about Teddy.

Third of all, what a shallow and contrived ending to such a satisfying climax and resolution. It was unneeded. It read like a piece of amateur fanfiction.

Anyway...that's the end of that particular rant.

:D
I couldn't stick through LOTR as a book, I found it incredibly boring.
I also found the only Terry Prachett novel that I bothered to buy(something about a post office place) boring.

...

But I've just finished reading Fell, the sequel to The Sight, by David Clement Davies and, although it took quite a while to get into it, I was glued to it for about three quaters of the way through. It was amazing. .

Terry Pratchett's Tiffany books are the only ones I've read, and I adore them. The perfect balance between humor and pathos, satire/irony and compassion.

Also, I read Fire Bringer by David C-D quite a while ago and loved it. Combining Tolkein with Brian Jacques, in a way.

I've started the Wee Free Men again now, and it isn't bad. Last time I wasn't feeling great about it, but it's OK. Quite funny, though childish.

It gets less childish as the series progresses. In my opinion, at least.

[Eyes of Wolf]

Does anyone know if there's going to be a fourth Tiffany book?

[Pellinorfan11]

no idea what your talking about but i am going psycho because im almost done with eclipse and when im done with it i will have nothing to read until the singing, breaking dawn, and brisngir come out

If you like serious fantasy, like Pellinor, (okay, dumb question. I mean, you're on here, aren't you?:D) Forgotten Realms by R A Salvadore is amazing! It is a ridicuously long series about a dark elf who is not evil like the rest of them are. Wait, that sounded like a discription of a children's book. It's not, actually. The characters are all amazing and the writing is phenomonal. The order of the books is:

The Dark Elf Trilogy-
Homeland
Exile
Sojourn

The Icewind Dale Trilogy-
The Crystal Shard
Streams of Silver
The Halfling's Gem

The Legacy of the Drow-
The Legacy
Starless Night
Siege of Darkness
Passage to Dawn

Paths of Darkness-
The Silent Blade
The Spine of the World
Servant of the Shard
Sea of Swords

I have only read to the Halflings Gem, but they are fantastic. The headings at the top of each seperate list is because you can get all those books in one or seperately.
