651844 Fun list! Although I just want to mention that SOME of these series were written LONG before Harry Potter. :) So Harry Potter fans should definitely check them out if they haven't yet. There was fantasy before Harry Potter. :) I'm just saying.


message 2: by Cindy (new)

339857 Ok, I added the Dark Lord of Derkholm, but there's only two in that series. Still, it is so good that you really have to check it out.

lol, yeah, i was actually shocked to see the pawn of prophecy up there. i thought people had forgoten this great series existed!

Nophoto-f-25x33 (sniff) i will always be a harry potter lover, no matter what they say.Oh,by the way, this a sucha cool list. luv it! and to all you harry potter fans out there, never stop liking that series.


1827236 i know! i still adore harry potter!!! but this is good for when youve finished HP and need a new book/series to read...


message 7: by Davina (last edited Jul 14, 2009 05:36PM) (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 i agree with you, jen! as a true hp lover, i sometimes i wish i could be a character of the book, although,............................... their life seems a little dangerous though. oh! are we talking about the list????!!! i was thinking about hp! but as for that list, just gotta luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv it! uhem! back to daydreaming.................................................


1827236 lol! i know how you feel davina!


message 9: by Brittany (new)

2244878 Twilight is romance, period. There is no fantastastic world building or in-depth characters. It shouldn't be on the list.


message 10: by Anneke (new)

1395063 Agreed.


message 11: by Cutebabys (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Ditto, Twilight is romance. Should so not be in this list. But really, Harry Potter was one of the best books I've ever read. Twilight just cannot compete. Sure, it was okay...but it was still romance.


message 12: by Shri (new)

Nophoto-u-25x33 bartimeous is the best. i wonder why The Lightning Thief be #1, is it that good?

I totally agree



message 15: by Annabeth (new)

1728487 I love the Percy Jackson series!!! But romance novels shouldn't be on the list. It just doesn't fit.


message 16: by Anneke (new)

1395063 lets not all grumble at twilight now...although Stephenie Meyer kind of deserves it...
Twilight (the first book) was OK, but she dragged it on and made it totally unappealing and nobody or nothing ever changes. I hate it.


message 17: by Bd (new)

2670544 anybody like Harry Potter?
it sucks

Yeah. She should have left it as the first one.



message 19: by Anneke (new)

1395063 I LOVE HARRY POTTER! At first I thought it was an semi-OK thing, but when you reread it...I mean, that is eons beyond what I could ever do! It is genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


message 20: by Annabeth (new)

1728487 one thing that drives me crazy is when people say they dislike books when they haven't even read them. I can fairly judge twilight because I've read the series.


message 21: by Anneke (new)

1395063 Well, if you haven't read the book just say something like, "No opinion." And then you are good. Sometimes you can guess if the type is so obvious (like Wake...I got to chapter four and it was like SO many other books...) that you can't finish it. Some people are good at that, but generally, it is a no-no.

agreed


message 23: by Anneke (new)

1395063 I think that books that are just spin-offs of a popular series (Harry Potter often has a whole bunch of little books that are almost plagiarizing it...) are kind of stupid too.

Anyways, I am reading "Parade of Shadows" by Whelan. It is pretty awesome so far. Except very obvious romance...but what is romance, really, if it isn't obvious.


message 24: by Anneke (new)

1395063 That's why we have lots of types of books!


message 25: by Annabeth (new)

1728487 awesome!


message 26: by Megan (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Twighlight is extremley dull and poorley written. Though you must give Stephanie Meyers credit for making such a low quality book that almost everyone seems to like.


message 27: by Annabeth (new)

1728487 She is good at capturing the attention of many readers because the story line is cliche and, overall, addicting. I couldn't agree more, the writing is terrible.


message 28: by Megan (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 I like your taste in books!!


message 29: by Annabeth (new)

1728487 thanks! I like yours!!!


message 30: by Hannah (new)

1131176 i luv this list...offically. i agree with basically every comment on here. :D


message 31: by Annabeth (new)

1728487 haha...couldn't agree more. except for the ones saying, "why percy jackson?" those I strongly disagree with because I am a total percy jackson fan.


message 32: by Megan (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Percy Jackson ROCKS!!!!!


message 33: by Megan (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Percy Jackson ROCKS!!!!!
