Hi all.
Time for some of you to become civilized and well spoken:icon_eek:
(yeah like thats going to happen:icon_cry
Anyway, since we have a thread to discuss music and stuff, well i thought we did, I thought we could have a thread to discuss books.
The following are un-inclusive, Bill boards :icon_redface:, Magazines(like thats a book) and advertisements of any kind.
So everybody.
Just list your absolute favourite books and/or movies that go with them and leave a comment about them.
here everybody can be a critic(aslong as its constructive) and Please try and stay on topic.
I know how easy threads can be derailed and i really think this thread could be fun.
So i'll start anyway
My fav books are The Inheritance Cycle(Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr)
The movie was absolutely horrible and do not recommend watching it.
In short if you havent read the books, There about a young farm boy that was hunting in a dangerous area where he lives and he comes across what he assumes to be a rock.
So he brings it back to his farm and it turns out to be a dragon egg,
He starts to bond with the dragon, then some weird strangers turn up in town looking for the Stone(egg).
His uncle gets slain while Eragon wasnt at the farm and it leads him on a long journey for revenge against the creatures that killed his Uncle.
He soon meets up with the town story teller who happens to know quite abit about dragon lore but refuses to tell eragon how he knows it.
On there travels The story teller trains eragon in swordsmanship and Magic,
Shortly after he finds an elf in a prison that has been tortured, and so begins a race against the clock to save the elfs life.
I wont say anymore on it because the following bits are the best and i wouldnt want to spoil it too much.
My next fav's are TWILIGHT :icon_razz:
All of the series which includes,
Twilight, New moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
Long story short, Does NOT follow the normal myths of vampires and is a very good romance/little bit of action.
It really shows the effect some people have on others.
good for most type of readers but probably hard to understand for anybody under the age of 13.
The movies wherent that special really.
They cut Way too much out.
But if they didnt they would go for hours
So the movies are- Twilight and New moon
So far.
they are Kristen stewart and Robbert pattinson as the main characters.
I dont want to say to much on them because it is really a good book right from the beggining and dont want to give it away.
My next favourite book is(Drum role please)
Harry potter :icon_surprised:
I dont mind all of them but my favourite is Harry potter and the philosophers stone, harry Potter and the half blood prince and Harry Potter and the deathly hallows
Harry potter and the philosophers stone was great for kids into that sort of thing.
It was a good book and hard to put down.
once it got to Harry potter and the goblet of first it started to aim more towards mid teens around 14-16.
HP and the half blood prince and HP and the deathly hallows are great books.
Both very enticing, alot of action, romance and comedy.
There the best because they explain alot about what happened and happens.
the only draw back to HP is the ending.
They tryed to wrap it up well but still left some loose ends.
The moves were good, but again they had to cut stuff out Because if they didnt they would go for hours.
but like i said.
once the movies got to about the gobblet of fire they where more for mid teens-the rateing was M in australia.
they still capture alot of the action and comedy in the movies, but could show more of the romance :icon_wink:.
One of my other fav's is The keys to the kingdom Trilogy.(mister monday, Grim tuseday, Drowned wednesday, Etc)
Not a wide known book by Garth nix(Australian Author)
But it is a reall good fantasy for young kids to young teens.
Its about a kid(arthur penhaligon) that just moved to a new school and he stumbles accross an odd site of 2 strange looking people.
they planned to be there for him for some sort of ritual when he was suppose to die so that a "magical" key could be passed on without breaking a treaty.
I recon it was a great book by a barely known author.
His other books(more widely known) include sabriel, lirael and abhorsen.
Another triliogy about "magic"
And suited for mid teens(14-16)
Anyway, these where just my oppinions on some great books, but hey, i like my fantast. :lol:
And i am sorry about it being soo long.:icon_neutral:
