Favorite Book series

[nejih94]

i love harry potter,towards the end it just got so intense,the twist and turns were amazing,i used to think it was for younger kids,but its gory sum times

i used to think it was for kids too (harry potter books)but then when the 6 and 7 parts came out the books got so complicated that i think a kids wound't have been able to understand.

yes that's one series that I forgot to include, I remember when they first came out I didn't think too highly of them, but after hearing all the hype and such surrounding the release of book 3, I finally went out and bought the first two in paperback, nice and cheap and if I didn't like them I could always give them to the library, but I was pleasantly surprised, they were a nice change from tolkein, king, and jordan, and they turned out to be rather addictive, I remember sitting outside bookstores for the midnight releases of books 5-7 b/c they were good, I kind of wish two or three more things were explained at the end of book 7, but it turned out to be a really good series

well mostly the careers, and what happened to everyone at the end, they point out what is going on w/ Harry and Ginny, Draco, Ron and Hermione, but they don't say what happened to the surviving twin, what careers they chose, how Harry's family took it, what happened to the school after the giant battle, who is running it

[archangle]

yaaa that the question that i had too of what happened to some of the people...i think that the shocking part (kinda) was where they tell about Prof.Sanpe's life...and the coolest part were the last 4 chapters

PS i know this is not the right place to discuss this stuff

Second? Which set am I forgetting?

the Bible is the most well known fantasy book in history, and no this is not meant to provoke religious arguments or declarations of faith, just answering the question, any posts expounding on religious beliefs or philosophies will be deleted as they can be considered inflammatory and a really bad idea

mine would have to be the magic kingdom for sale- sold! by terry brooks. its about this millionaire who buys a magical kingdom for a million dollars. when he gets to the magical kingdom, he becomes king to a land that is dying. so his job is to create allies with the other kingdoms and to restore the land to peace.
its really good you'd like it

My favourite book series is Warriors by Erin Hunter! It's a children's series (like Harry Potter) but I can't think of an argument to say it's good for adults too, besides that I'm not a kid. Some scenes are pretty intense, and the characters die a lot. The authors aren't shy about the characters convulsing in a pool of blood as they die, either. When you read it, it doesn't seem childish at all.
If I told you the plot, you'd laugh at me. =d
It's sort of like a series of series.. well in total there are 15 books out, not including the side manga and the guide book.

I also like the Dragon Jousters series by Mercedes Lackey. I'ven't read the 4th book yet though.

I can't say I've even read any other series besides those. Not even Harry Potter..! And I call myself a book lover.. ^^;
