Top 5 Favorite Book Series???

Question

1. Harry Potter by JK Rowling ... Awesome story and the duels between Harry and Voldemort were amazing

2. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer....Artemis is so cool and always has a backup plan and the action scenes are great, especially Butler vs the entire LEP

3. Maximum Ride by James Patterson....Action Packed and a compelling story

4. Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan... It's interesting seeing what kind of challenge Halt is going to give Will next and the action scenes are also great

maximum ride is an awsome series too

and lord of the rings and Gemma Doyl trilogy ..ok ..sorry , I should stop

I love too many books....its hard to choose !

Answer 2

1) Harry Potter- No one can resist a famous teen who has the most dangerous wizard out to kill him. Classic.



2) Inheriance- Incrediable story and I love how it all seems to tie together so well. Very talented writer; I'm eagerly awaiting for the next book. But the movie just plain sucked. (Sorry if I offended anyone.)



3) Artemis Fowl- Who doesn't love a twelve year old genius? Such a great series! The last book came to be such a shock! I'll spare details for those who stumble across this and don't want to be spoiled.



4) The Golden Compass series- There's no other way to discribe it other than "magical". I absolutely love this series and it would probably be my first only I'm more in love with the story than the characters. For some reason I didn't get as attached to them as I usually do with characters from other books.



5) Twilight series- I'm not a big fan of romance, which is why this is number five. But the story was still witty and funny and had plenty of other things to distract me from the mushy-ness. Love vampires.



Awesome question by the way. Even though it's not really a question.

Answer 3

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Robert Heinlein. Lord of Light, Roger Zelazny. The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien. An Old Friend of the Family, Fred Saberhagen. Death of a Citizen, Donald Hamilton. Series: The Barrayar series about Miles Vorkosigan by Lois McMaster Bujold. The Dracula series by Fred Saberhagen especially Old Friend... The Dracula Tapes, and Thorn. The Lord of The RIngs by Tolkien. Matt Helm starts with Death of a Citizen. Travis Mcgee. The Hitchhiker's Guide series, Callahan's Bar by Spider Robinson. On TV and Movies: Buffy, The Oneidan Line, Back to the Future, The Star Trek Movies, Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe. The Terminator Series, (after the first one, I had to see how they would write Arnie back into it as a hero) {BTW, I know Harlan Ellison won his lawsuit about it, but if I'd been on the jury, I'd have found for him and awarded him only a copy of Elephants Have Melancholy Eyes, because when I first saw it I thought that Fred Saberhagen's Berserker series was what was being ripped off.} Archie Comics. (for bed time reading) BQ: Actually, I gave up when I realised they were writing it faster than I could read it. Worse, try Spider Robinson's short story, Elephants Have Melancholy Eyes. And, nowadays my eyes hurt enough that I don't read many books, even when I have the time. On the computer I can control the size of the page and print.

Answer 4

In no particular order..





Scott Westerfeld's Midnighters Trilogy

-Books: The Secret Hour, Touching Darkness, Blue Noon

This trilogy is science fiction. Westerfeld is one of my favorite authors, and with good reason. The series is about a small group of teenagers who were born at the stroke of midnight. Because of this, they have the 'privilege' of experiencing a twenty fifth hour of the day. Of course, there's a catch.



T. A. Barron's The Great Tree of Avalon Trilogy

-Books: Child of the Dark Prophecy, Shadows on the Stars, The Eternal Flame

-It's been a while since I've read this. I remember the intimidation I felt when faced with the sizes of these books. However, I did brave it and read them. I am very glad that I did. This book is fantasy, and it's about this, obviously great, tree. The tree is the life's blood of the creatures that inhabit it, and the books take you through a few threats the tree is faced with and the adventures that result.



Scott Westerfeld's Uglies Trilogy (or Quartet)

-Books: Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras

-This book is set in futuristic times. The world created is incredible, and the book causes you to think about society's twisted view of the typical 'pretty' face. I don't want to say any more, or else I'd ruin it by butchering the summary.



Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness Quartet

-Books: Alanna: The First Adventure, In the Hand of the Goddess, The Woman Who Rides Like a Man, Lioness Rampant

-This series is amazing. In a fantasy world where all knights are male and women are weak and fragile, Alanna rises up. Disguised as a boy, she trades places with her twin brother in order to train to be a knight. The quartet tells of the obstacles she faced in training and as a Lady Knight.



Caroline Cooney's Time Travel Quartet

-Books: Both Sides of Time, Out of Time, Prisoner of Time, For All Time

-The ONLY non-fantasy/science fiction series on my list. It's romance, and heart wrenching. Annie, who is your everyday twenty first century-er, is thrown back into time, where she meets the love of her life. The whole quartet is about fate playing with her, taking her back in time to find someone she loves only to be shoved back into present time. Many problems arise from this time travel, such as Strat, the love of her life, being locked in a loony bin while Annie is in an entirely different time period.

Answer 9

1. Clive Cussler's NUMA and Oregon Files - great stories, lots of historical and scientific tidbits, some of the characters are my superheroes



2. Discworld by Terry Pratchett - fun parallel-universe goofiness, excellent satire on highly recognizable elements of modern culture, and a Librarian who happens to be an ourangutan



3. The Dark Tower by Stephen King - amazing parallel universe/alternate reality epic, great characters, lots of cultural references and links to King's other books



4. Sano Ichiro by Laura Joh Rowland - great characters, intricately detailed storylines, lots of fascinating details about feudal Japanese culture



5. Women of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong - good stories and characters, excellent theories on "supernaturals" (werewolves, witches/sorcerers, vampires, demons, necromancers, etc.)
