Narnia : i love all thease books but there is NO humor in them, the first one ( magishian's nephew) i diden't relly get when i  read it before  the lion the witch and the wardrobe, but it clicked after i read the last book

Lord of the rings & the hobbit : needs more humor, i lost my intrest in parts of the lord of the rings, to deataild for my age.... but then they are suposedly high school books, and i am not in high school but they are still good :)

there is more but i is haveing a brain blurp right now

Ingo left a lot of questions unanswered, but they were mostly answered in the other books in the series. And the main character didn't know or understand very much of what happened herself. Her Mer ancestry just kept beckoning her. And that's kind of like ordinary life, really. You don't know everything about the world around you, and you don't find the answer to every question that goes through your head. Besides, the main purpose of detail in a story is to help the reader visualize what's going on. I don't know about you, but I saw the events of this series much more vividly than I normally do. Not only did I see them, in fact. I heard, smelled, tasted, felt... Sapphy was such a realistic character, I could practically slip into her head and experience everything.

It's true, in real life, we know our own age, as well as that of almost everyone else we know. But maybe Helen Dunmore left that out on purpose. This way, we can choose how old Sapphy is in our mind. She can be whatever age we can connect to easiest. And no one knows how old Cymbril is, either, but I don't know a single person who doesn't like The Star Shard.

In  The Witches, we aren't even told the main character's name, but Roald Dahl is considered by most people to be an amazing writer.

And at least she didn't fill up the series with a bunch of purple prose.

Please don't be offended by any of this. I'm just telling you what I thought of the book, and some of the reasons I loved it so much. I understand that you didn't, and that's perfectly fine. I just felt like explaining my opinions.

Ok, revival time.

When I made this thread, I had only read the first of the Wrinkle in Time series, and had not understood it. Now that I have read them all, though, I found that I liked them much better, especially Many Waters and A Swiftly Tilting Planet.

Another book I did not like: The Red Pyramid. Some of you may have liked it, but I didn't. It was basically another Percy Jackson only not as exciting. Especially the whole baboon thing. Shudders.

And I totally agree with you about Capricorn from Inkheart. *headesk* if I may steal that phrase.
