I highly recommend it to teens and young adults.

I read it.
I'm eleven. That doesn't exactly qualify as a teen.
But, yeah, it's a good series.

Not to rag on anyone who likes the series, (Meaning everybody except me) but I read the first book and it didn't click with me. I have no idea why I don't like the series, I just don't. Then once everybody started loving the series, I'm the only one who isn't caught in the Hunger Games obsession. So every time I see anything related to Hunger Games, I die a little inside. (Please do not start an arguement with me, I am just posting my personal opinion to this series.)

I've started reading Keys to the Kingdom series, and its pretty good! (I've only read the second book becuase the library didn't have the first one.) It has a whole lot of unique elements to add to the story that makes it unique!


Choo! Choo! All aboard the Moron Express!

I'm more offended you think you are the only one who didn't obsess over The Hunger Games.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: What book are you currently reading?

The Fairy Dust Trilogy (?) by Gail Carson Levine. It's basically Disney Fairy books.

This probably sounds ridiculously childish, but these are really some of the best young children's books I've ever read, and I'm sad to say I read a lot. This is what I think is one of Gail Carson Levine's best writing. The characters and plots are amazing, and it's not just continuations of the same thing. The illustrations are really superb (by David Christiana). Of course, it's not at the level of, say, War and Peace, but I would really recommend it to people in all age groups, because the stories appeal to all ages. In fact, it's really more for 8-12 year olds, and maybe their parents too.

Rereading the Redwall books.  I was reading Taggerung yesterday and finished it less than 24 hours after checking it out from the library, it was so good.
