I have 3/4 of the books! There are three actual books and one book which is like a case file. I heard they were going to make it into a movie. That'd be so awesome. Other than the fact I cannot stand how that punk kid gets to be a rotten criminal and still win in the end.livin4messiah wrote:what type of books u like? Well i like books about faries i LOVE Artemis fowl. And i also enjoyed reading al lot of the Star Wars books.
I just finished a Star Wars book called "The Cestus Deception" set in the Clone Wars period. Good stuff!
I love all sorts of novels. "Coming of age" are usually ok. I love the Jennie McGrady series SO MUCH!

I love those books too! I think that book 8 was my favourite - I think it was 8. The one with the fabulous new police dude and an almost-wedding.Jennifer Doyle wrote: I love all sorts of novels. "Coming of age" are usually ok. I love the Jennie McGrady series SO MUCH!

Anyway, I've read the first book. CoT's right, it wasn't very realistic. My favorite type of books are... well, I like all kinds of books!

I LOVED The Stand movie! (haven't read the book yet) The end, or rather the climax before the end nearly brought me to tears!
Did you say he was so scared? I don't see what was scary about it. But then again, I don't get scared by any of Stephen Kings books/movies or other assorted "scary" movies.
I also didn't add to the list I read any movie novel I can get my hands on too. Unless it's a dumb movie like Cider House Rules, October Sky, or The Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood Of Traveling Pants.
A really really REALLY good book to everyon of the age of 12 (or possible even younger, because the world is a dangerous place for stuff like this nowadays) is I Kissed Dating Good Bye by Joshua Harris. Don't not read this just because of the name, because it doesn just say 'Don't Date'... but looks at the aspects of what's harmful in dating today and how to focus your relationship with God in the middle.
