With no books thread, and it only being comic.books, I thought it would be ok to make this.
I don't know how many people read but I still made this.

So.. Name the book and its author.
The Fire Ascending. By ... I forgo the name... well 4/10.

Not as good as the first 5 Last Dragon Chronicles books, and it doesn't make sense AT ALL

 

I've read quite a few recently.

Heroes of Olympus: Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan- 100/10
This was actually the second time I've read it since I first got it. It's still a fantastic book that had great character development, a good story, well-done romantic scenes, great action, and all the hilarious jokes you would expect from a Rick Riordan book. As far as Percy Jackson books go, I think this is my second favorite. I cried at the end and the wait for House of Hades is killing me.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini- 7.5/10
It was decent. It had a good plot and the world that Paolini created felt like it was worth revisiting. The problem is that it is extremely similar to Star Wars. I don't normally criticize things for being unoriginal, but the main plot is exactly like Star Wars. Eragon wasn't a vey interesting character either. He felt kinda bland to me. I almost wish the book was about some of the other characters like Brom or Murtagh. It was a decent set up for a series that will probably get better with the sequels.

The Hunger Games- 10/10
This was a great book, but I actually liked the movie a little more. Now it will take me months to get the second book from the library if I don't buy it first.

 

I also recently finished Brisngr by Christopher Paolini.
I have to give it... a 7/10
Not as great as Eldest, which I give a 10/10.
Brisingr was nice, but not as exciting.
Eldest was just amazing, introducing 2 new dragons and such, but, you don't wanna read all of my review. XD

 

i read bronze and red dragon codex books - 10/10
war of souls trigoloy set - 10/10
dragoium book - 10/10

 

At least the book was better than that fucking abysmal film they made; Jesus what a mess. Everyone but Jeremy Irons was out-acted by Jeremy Iron's eyebrows, and he in turn out-acted them.


The Hobbit - 10/10

A great old adventure yarn that I decided to buy and read again in preparation for the upcoming movie.

 

Yes. A lot.

If you consider school book a book because some consider it a text, than yes I do read a lot.

My rate as a student = 3.
The book/text is horrible, the lack of explanations and leaving information out are lousy.

 

I'd have to say the entire Temeraire series of novels by Naomi Novik. I don't usually read fantasy novels involving events from history, something about dragons being mixed into the Napoleonic War seemed irresistible.

 

Last book I read was Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Great book 10 out of 10 in my opinion. Mediocre B monster movie adaptation though.

 

Small Favor (A Dresden Files novel) by Jim Butcher. 8/10. Not the best on, but a LOT of long term plot advancement and some interesting character growth.

 

Recent reads for me are The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, which I'd give 9/10 to both.
Then Game of Thrones, an 8/10.
Currently reading the Hobbit in prep for the movie, and it gets a good old 10/10.

 

Ooooh is this the new Dresden that just came out? I just started the series myself at the behest of my significant other.

 

i don't read books, i eat them to absorb their power

 

Yeah, the movie took out all the parts of the book that made it a little more than a Star Wars rip off and I'm told it messed things up for the rest of the series.

My rating for The Hobbit is 9.75/10.

The Great Gatsby- 9.5/10
Even though it was required school reading, I actually enjoyed reading this book.

 

Ethan Frome - 8/10

It was good but some parts could have been better.

The Crucible - 10/10

It was great the whole story was centered around the Salem Witch Trials.


^Above books were school material.

 

This actually does remind me that I need to read this book again at some point within a week or so in order to prepare for the upcoming movie. So excited to go see it.  

 

The Book Thief-11/10

 

Selected Canterbury Tales - 7/10
It was a nice read, but not THAT nice of a read.

Walden by Henry David Thoreau - 7.8/10
Too many damn words, but it's thought provoking.

The script of the screenplay Cloud Atlas - first readthrough 7.6/10, second reading 8.9/10
Although it was initially hard to follow with constant switching between characters, I reread the whole thing to better understand the film and the story. It's a first draft, though, so differences were there between the two.

In Progress: The Cloud Atlas - 8/10
Beautifully structured book. Great characters.

 

the hunger game-10/10
the hunger games:catching fire-10/10
the hunger games:mockingjay-7/10

 

I read Bruce Campbell's If Chins Could Kill: Confessions Of A B-Movie Actor once a year (during the fall/winter months) and I'm happy to say that I just finished it for the 10th time. I will always rate it 10/10.

 

Yep, read all as much as time allows.

Just finishing up 'Killing Lincoln' by Bill O'Reilly, didn't think it would be that great of a book, we all know what happened, but the way he wrote it, there's all kind of little details the history books and classes never told you about. Fast read and well written.
9.9/10
