Only reason I got it was because Google store had a deal on it for like 3 bucks. Didn't expect much since I assumed it was aimed towards a younger crowrd , plus I've already seen the movie, but to my surprise I'm really enjoying it.
I'd reccomend it if you like distopian type sci-fi as I do.

edit: Also, I think Robert Jordan lost a lot of readers before sanderson took over. I don't know that many people that have started the series and stuck with it till the end... |
Yeah, a lot of people like WoT but it's also one of the more disparaged series in the fantasy genre, as well, and a good number of people who were into it at first have dropped it. Personally, word of mouth has kept me somewhat disinterested, so it's never been at the top of my list to try.
Reading Percy Jackson: The Titan's Curse, started 6 months ago but I'm still at page 14....note that I haven't read it for 6 months, but I recently read and really enjoyed The Hobbit.
We had to choose a book for our project, so being the Lord of The Rings fan I am, I chose The Hobbit.
Great book by the way and I totally recommend it.

I've seen the movie and I'm sure I'll like the book too.

the last 3 books that sanderson wrote are among the best fantasy books in the genre, however, you would have to get through 11 robert jordan books to get there...
Robert Jordan created a great fantasy world some pretty impressive plot threads revolving around each other... However he had some really weak characterizations of his characters, especially females. If you are a feminist, there are a lot of things you will hate about the wot series...
That being said, I'd still give it a read. I would advice reading the first six books, then reading the synopsis of books 7-11, and then reading the last three books

The Hobbit is great. It's one of my favorite books.

I think I got all the way to book 9 or 10 and then just couldnt bear it.
I really enjoyed Way of Kings.

EDIT : Awesome thread. That changes from flamewars and blind fanboyism. Anyway, back to Dark Souls to get killed again. |
Do I have to drop what I'm doing if I read the Ender's Game two decades ago?
By the way, if you liked Ender's Game I highly recomend Halo: The Fall of Reach. It's still the best of the very good Halo books.

...as long as no one recommends all the other books in the Ender series, I am fine with recommending the original.
Reading Enders shadow just after Enders game is quite interesting though.

I love watching Game Of Thrones.
Is it worth reading the Game of Thrones book by R.R Martin? Theres a bookstore near my place selling the set of 5 books for about 69 AUD only.
You are the answer to every prayer I've offered.
You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.
