Has anyone read the Hunger Games trilogy? Watched the movie and liked it. Are the books worth reading?
It's a novel set in a utopian future in which every house has a Xbone.
I read the first one and I think its better than the movie. A lot more nuance that is almost impossible to portray on film. I havent read the two others after reading that it wasnt supposed to be any sequels before the first was a success. I liked the ending to the first so dont see any reason to read sequels that werent intended.Has anyone read the Hunger Games trilogy? Watched the movie and liked it. Are the books worth reading?
I loved the first book, it's more detailed, we understand more about Katniss, we see her more doing survival things (like looking for water, food...) and her thoughts (like all the manipulation). It's more moving than the movie.Has anyone read the Hunger Games trilogy? Watched the movie and liked it. Are the books worth reading?

Mistborn by Sanderson ? It's a serie of three long books and you can stop for a while after each book (meaning no cliffhanger in the last page). It is my favourite fantasy serie, it's fast-paced, has fun dialogues, a creative magic system...In the mood to read a good long epic fantasy novel, not on the scale of the Wheel of Time series, that's just mental, but something long and in depth.
Celia, why aren't you talking to us about Mistborn in the thread then?!Mistborn by Sanderson ?

You won't be disappointed. Ignoring the obvious, it's definitely got claim to be the best and most epic trilogy.Oh yeah, good shout! I've heard only good things about this series. Thanks, will give it a read.
I've already started reading it.You won't be disappointed. Ignoring the obvious, it's definitely got claim to be the best and most epic trilogy.
It's solid in every area. More people need to read it.
If you take a look at the link to the Fantasy Thread, you'll see my thoughts on Game of Thrones books. Although, seems like I'm the only person in the world to think it.I've already started reading it.
I was reading Game of Thrones on my phone at one point but for some reason it didn't save the page I was on, it was like page 700+ (pages are shorter on the phone), and I really couldn't be bothered trawling through it looking for the page I was on so I'm sort of just procrastinating from reading it for a while now.
Right, I'm going to sit down and give this Mistborn book a proper read tonight, let you know my thoughts in the morning.If you take a look at the link to the Fantasy Thread, you'll see my thoughts on Game of Thrones books. Although, seems like I'm the only person in the world to think it.
This is not a single story, though most have a common underlying thread which references some books to others. The first book 'Gardens of the Moon' is also the best of the lot. Would have been much much better if only it was in any kind of structure. The first book's sequel is the 3rd. The 2nd books sequel is the 4th and both stories are linked in the 5th and so forth. Then there are standalone stories like 'Night of Knives' which give background and introduce characters, but not directly linked to main theme.Has anybody read Malazan Book of the Fallen? Is it any good?
When I read these books in the summer, I think it was only Alock who has read them and we discussed a lot for those book. Now it seems that there areplenty of other people who have read/are reading them which is a very good thing. More people need to know about those books.The Kingkiller Chronicles (Name of the Wind and Wise Man's fear) - Love them. One of the best series in fantasy, I should say. Eagerly awaiting the final sequel.
Anyone read his dark materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman?

Besides that, the fantasy book thread is pretty much Kingkiller Chronicles thread.
As teen books go they're brilliant.Anyone read his dark materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman?
Yup. A good introduction to fantasy too, but I'm not sure I would recommend reading it after more sophisticated fantasy reads.As teen books go they're brilliant.
I read the first book three years ago, it was a pleasant reading but not that impressive for me. I probably disliked the fact that the big problem at the end is completely unrelated to the story, more like the author thought only after a while "we need a big event at the end, so I will just send the hero somewhere and out of the blue he will have something big to do. And no need to "correct" the pages before so the reader won't think it's completely random.". ><When I read these books in the summer, I think it was only Alock who has read them and we discussed a lot for those book.

I feel like rereading some of Dan Brown's books for some reason.
The Tournament- Matthew Reilly.
Read it before I started NOTW. Best description is probably 'meh'. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great either. I feel like rereading some of Dan Brown's books for some reason.

Masochism?
I liked you before reading this post
Seriously, I am amazed by myself how the heck I loved his books when I was on high school and how I have managed to read all of his 6 books (Angels and Demons, and Da Vinci Code multiple times). It is like reading the same shit all over again.
They are all the same, just with different names. Sophie Neveu is Vittoria Vetra with French accent. Same about two other Langdon's girls.
I like how his female characters are always hot
