Books

I am 13 and if I don't go to bed too late at night I always read a small bit, the last novel I read was “The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas” but the ending was ruined on me because I had already seen the movie, but still and excellent book.

Since then I have been reading “The World According To Clarkson” which are compilations of newspaper columns by Jeremy Clarkson who works (or worked I don't really know) for some English newspaper. I have finished the first two volumes and am getting stuck into volume 3.

I can see why school can put someone off reading though, we just started Romeo and Juliet in English class (I know it technically counts as a play but meh) and I am not enjoying it at all.

But to the contrary in Irish class we are reading a novel called “Dunmharu ar an DART” which translates into “Murder on the DART” DART standing for Dublin Area Rapid Transport or something, it's a commuter train in Dublin anyways and it's actually pretty good, man dies on train, main character takes his case by mistake, case full of money, man and wife run away to Greece with stolen money, dead man isn't actually dead, starts hunting them down, wife gets murdered, main character goes on killing rampage. And that's only the first three chapters 😀

Sorry for the long post.

I am 13 and i dont read a lot only on summer i dont have a favourite type of book

Nice to see a good bit of support for the graphic novel. Far too many people write them off as comics for kids.

The Silent Hill series is quality although you might need to read them twice before you can get your head around what’s going on. It’s very easy to get distracted by the insane artwork at times.

Anything by Ben Templesmith (the artist behind the Dead Space GN) is usually gold. His Wormwood trilogy is one of the funniest things I’ve read and Fell: City deserves a sequel more than anything else on the market.

One of the better known GNs out there is Arkham Asylum and I only read this after playing the game. Definitely a recommendation to anyone. A damn sight darker and deeper than I was expecting.

i should check that out as well lol

my favorite books are the series percy jackson and the olympians by rick riordan. which i just finished the last book. i read quit often. used to be i read like 3 books each week till i got a job. most people don't read these days though which is sad. at least girls still read a lot

Books!, Books are awesome!! Read the Book before seeing the film, Number 1 rule!

Anywayz good books for people of all ages: Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr (4th and final book coming out soon, and if u have seen the film eragon it basicaly kills the whole story, so read the book!) errm… Alex Rider series… err. and Darren Shan's Dementa series

p.s Knoxie read some of these maybe you might start to like reading

I read all the Harry Potter books and it ruins the movies IMO, I know they cant physically fit in everything from the book into a movie but still.

I haven't read Eragon or seen the movie so I might check out them books.

I am on the last book of Darren Shan's Demonata, I got it for Christmas, he is one of my favourite authors.

Yeah, it looks turd. Saw an ad for it when I saw Shrlock Holmes on Monday.

Ps3 Freak is right, always read the books before you see the film, although watching the new sherlock holmes movie no makes me want to read the books! The inheritance cycle by Christopher Paolini is amazing (eragon, eldest and brisingr). Didn't really want to watch the film though as I didn't think it would do the books justice!

Usually I finish a series of books but I can't bring myself to finish Darren Shan's demonata series, I think I might have just grown out of his style of writing as I started reading his Vampire saga when I was twelve. But I would recommend those books to anyone!

wow, i agree with everything u just said, the film of eragon doesnt give it justice at all and im up to the 3rd darren shan book but ive got bored of it though, but i just suggested it cause the first two books of his were awesome
