I read City of Bones for my school's book club, and, honestly - don't bother with it if you see it. It's Harry Potter with different names. Actually, it's so much like Harry Potter that Luke reminded... |

I haven't read much of Terry Pratchett. Only one or two chapters from The Amazing Maurice, I think. It was my sister's book anyways, and it didn't catch on with me, so I did not pursue other... |

I'm not sure if it counts as fantasy, or more of a history fiction genre, or just adventure, or a mix of all of them. I don't know if it's history enough to be one, or myth enough to be another. ... |

I found HP addicting because I couldn't put it down while I read it, but when reflecting on it later I wondered if it was worth reading. It is certainly entertaining while it's new. It has a way of... |
