I've read that series br I stopped at InkDeath. The first was good but the second kind of bored me and it got a bit confusing. But I have read City of Bones, that is the only and probablyfhe last book I will read from that series. The first is good but again I was bored in the second. Do you know they are making a movie out of those books?

Yes, my book is new enough to have a sticker saying "now a major motion picture" on it, lol. I agree about InkDeath. I read it anyways, but... yeah. But if you didn't you wouldn't have known about Meggie leaving Farid.. after the war (cosimo/viper) Farid wanted to go into town to be a street preformer, one of the moltey folk. He asked Meggie to go with him, and she declined, because she loved this other boy, (forget his name), but her and his fates were also written into the book.
What is your take on The Hunger Games?

[Sila]

That sounds all right, dont think I'll read it though but the Hunger Games was alright, the first was good and I tried the second but it was boring you can say I'm picky about what I read xD the movie was good but they left a lot of parts out, the book was just slow and poorly written. Did you like it?

[welcome to carnival.]

*joins conversation* hope you don't mind ^^
i read inkheart and liked it very much (the film as well) but when i started the second one it was so boring i couldn't force myself to finish it ^^ x)
for the hunger games, catching fire is my fave :33
i thought it was boring until somewhen a little after the middle or so it becomes really awesome :3 did you finish it?

[Sila]

InkHeart was good, nice turn of events in the fantasy world and such, I think I did at least manage to finish the second, it's been so long I can't remeber. The second Hunger Games I never did, boring so I quit.

Edit: Finally added the books to the list xD sorry it took so long, I kept forgetting!

Yes, I did read the hunger games. It was good, a bit depressing, but in the best way. (lol). The movie was ok, but not as good as the book. I think they changed too much. Neither the second nor the third was as good as the first. You don't really like second books, do you? I just started the first book in the Mortal Instruments, City of Bones, I like it so far, but I'm only on page 18 though. Have any of you ever read Percy Jackson/ Kane series? (The movie, in my own opinion, fell very, very short to my expectations.)

[Sila]

No I don't like the second books to most things xD City of Bones was good. Didnt finish the second, read the First, Second and Third books of the Inheritence cycle, on the fourth now. And we were reading the Percy Jackson books in class but we stopped on the first, the books were okay and the movie was good to me, guess that is why I didn't finish the book.

Hello!
Title: Left Behind series.
Author: Tim LaHaye & J. Jenkins.
Other books in series: Left Behind, Tribulation Force, Nicolae, Soul Harvest, Apollyon, Assassins, The Indwelling, The Mark, Desecration, The Remnant, Armageddon, The Glorious Appearing
Genre of the book: Christian. (But I'd say that it could go under several other sections...)
Anything I should know first?: It's a great series, that you don't have to be Christian to read. They can get a tad bit mature, but they certainly can be read by people who are young. (In my opinion, at least. I read these books when I was in middle school.)

-- -- --

I noticed that the Millennium series was listed... Is that really a good idea? xD That series certainly is not for younger readers. (I'm not saying it's not a good series, but with all the mature content in the books, it's certainly odd that it's listed.)

[Sila]

Thank you for the suggestion ^^ and you think I should add for those types of books a bit of warning? I did that for Angels and Demons because I read the book and knew it needed a warning in front of it xD If it is for mature people then they should figure that out when their read (or should read) the plot c:

[cosmic waves]

No problem. I'll probably suggest a few other books, too. :3

Well, the thing about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is that the plot doesn't SAY it deals with mature content. But if you look the series up, it has a lot of mature themes to it. The actual translation to the first book is "Men who hate women". But, I think at least with that book you should put a warning. I mean, I'm sure there are some mature young people, but I certainly wouldn't want them to read that book without being of proper mind and age. xD;
