I thought Artemis Fowl was O.K. Ender's Game was the best! Sea-Biscuit was the best! I loved it because I have race horses (Not throughbreds, I have standardbreds). Have you read "Stormbreaker" or "Point-Blank". They are part 1 and 2 of a series. I read Stormbreaker last night. It was really good. Kinda a mystery/adventure/spy book.

Yeah, I read the first one, they're from the Alex Rider series right? I read them, I'm not much of a spy/adventure fan, my brothers love them(especially the fact that he has gadgets like that one that looks like a gameboy but can do so much more, lol)

Yep the Alex Rider ones. I read watership, and even though I like bunnies, the book was kinda boring and weird.

if you're interested in an Adut fantasy (i'm thirteen, and i'm ADDICTED to this one) read the first book in the Sword of Truth series "Wizard's First Rule" by Terry Goodkind. i don't want to explain it cuz then i'll lead into telling the whole story......but if you love fantasy, read it! i wasn't interested i9n the title at first, since a friend got it, but i just love his writing and how he weaves the story together. lots of hidden twists, and points where you can have fun guessing, then laugh about it later.

The book You Don't Know Me is really good, and if you want a love/action novel type thing (well, there's like three pages of a love story in the books, lol, so if you want an adventure/action) the Sweet Valley High series. They're really old, though, the copyright is in '88 or '89. You don't really have to read the books in order, just pick out one or two that you like (they're kinda like the baby-sitters' club series because the books aren't intertwined, lol). There's two main charectors (sp?), two identical twins named Elizabeth and Jessica. Sometimes, though, it seems as if the author made their lives a little too perfect, but it's a really good series. I think there's around 60 books in all.

My favorite novel was Catcher in the Rye. It was such a great novel from J.D. Salinger. It's a classic and a must-read!

I agree with you Alex...the Pendragon series IS good! I enjoyed them. Have you read the one that was just released, "Black Water"? I found it to be very good...I really enjoyed it...one of my favorites so far! If you haven't read it...make a trip to the book store...you will be pleased that you did! Mark and Courtney travel!
