[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Book Recomendations

Eregon was an ok read...a good story but lacking soul.  Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass is great read along with the rest of the His Dark Materials series; a well blended sci/fi-fantasy in our modern universe and our alternate worlds.  For a strictly modern day fantasy, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet's Good Omens has some Brit wit and kicks ass.  For the vampire lover, there is no better storyline out there than that written by Nancy Collins: Midnight Blue has the first three novels in it, the read is about as fast as any Harry Potter book, but is definitely 'R' rated.

The shop girl also recommended Eregon to me... I wasn't sure because it looked like all fantasy and I need some modern reality in my fantasy. I just picked up the Anita Blake novels. No where near the skill and whimsy of Harry Potter but what is... they are page turners though. And I am a long time Buffy fan so I am partial to Vampire lore.

  I have read Eregon and it is extraordinary for a 15 year old writer. 
  You can see his youth in some of the way he writes but as he ages 
  and gets life experience I am sure he is going to be an author to 
  watch out for! I really enjoyed the book and the imagination that 
  went into it and I can't wait for the next one to come out! (It 
  seems I have started gravitating back to books that are in the teen 
  sections and I have found some very good reading there)
