*more than a month later*
 I can't believe that I didn't come here as soon as I finished the book  Anyway, The Assassin's Apprentice is great, I'd recommend it for people who love unexpected endings, and it's a bit of a long read so you have to have some patience  I'd love to recommend the following for your reading pleasure: -"Sabriel", "Lirael" , "Abhorsen" (triolgy) By: Garth Nix. Rating: * * * * * (out of 5) Opinion: My most fav of all of the books I've read on this list. I couldn't let it down! I'd spend days without eating or sleeping properly just so that I'd have enough time to read more of it. -The Chronicles of Narnia (series of 7) By: C.S.Lewis. Rating: * * * * * Opinion: Who ever said that children's books were for only children? Pfft! This is the best children's story after The Hobbit. -His Dark Materials (Triolgy) By: Philip Pullman. Rating: * * * Opinion: It was amusing, but the ending didn't go the way I expected it to... -Bored of the Rings By: Harvard Lampoon. Rating: (zero) Opinion: I thought that it would be a funny parody, it was so stupid! I've read funnier parodies online... -The Magical World of The Lord of The Rings By: David Colbert. rating: * * * * * opinion: Very interesting. It taught me a lot of fun and useful facts and answered a lot of questions that I had. A must have for any LoTR fan out there. -Harry Potter: The Order Of The Phoenix By: Rowling. rating: * * * * (and a half) My most fav HP book is The Goblet Of Fire, this is my 2nd most fav HP book. Will try to give reviews of them on the Review Thread asap -------------------- Then Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and last of all Sam, and went abroad; and slowly the ship slipped away down the long gray firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost.

nice!
 speaking of Garth Nix, this kid at school submitted "author bios" for our school literary magazine. The four authors he covered were JRR Tolkien, Garth Nix, JK Rowling, and Shakespeare... his favorite authors. ~random fact of the day~  The Garth Nix trilogy you recommended is already on my list  Now all I need is money and time... well, summer vacation is just around the corner! |

oh you will so love it! I've been developing this urge to re-read the trilogy!
Hope you'll have as much fun reading it as I did. The best thing about it is that the main character's a female not a male...so it's pretty interesting to see how a female takes control of things...and the fact that she's trying to save her father from death is so  -------------------- Then Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and last of all Sam, and went abroad; and slowly the ship slipped away down the long gray firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost.
