Thanks for the heads up on the 4th Maximum Ride. I think I'll be keeping my distance from that.
As for Harry Potter. They should never have been made into movies. That way the last 3 books might have been as good as the first 4.
Oh, and to Maximum fans: read When the Wind Blows, also by Patterson. Its kinda related by not at the same time.

Actually there is a reason.....SirBryghtside said:
JRR Tolkein did a similar thing with LOTR and JK ROwling has shamelessly dickrhaped and ripped off his series and dumbed it down for 12 year olds and their mums
RIngwraiths = Dementors
Frodo = Harry
Gandalf = Dumbledore
Frodo has a ring = Harry potter can has evil ring too
Bad dude they thought they beat = Same
I'm so tired of people bringing this up...D-Mic said:
There's a simple explanation: they hadn't done it in that way. They couldn't go back in time because they knew that they hadn't, otherwise what they would have prevented would not have happened anyway. But they kind of already knew they had used time travel to save Serious, but they also knew they hadn't used it to kill Voldemort. And they already said in the book that bad things happen to people who mess with their past.
If you want to complain about a plothole, complain about how the ministry gave a child a device that can alter the past. Even if she didn't abuse it, she could have misused it/had it stolen by someone who would abuse it.
Or how did people know that Harry Potter had survived and destroyed Voldemort when the latter tried to kill the former?
Or why didn't the wands ever show signs of that new owner rule they added in the 7th book?
Or why didn't... *Sputters* FANBOY OVERLOAD. SHUTTING DOWN. *powering down sounds*
Not to mention that you can't live through something, then go back in time and become the reason you lived through it. You never would've gotten to the later point to originate the loop.D-Mic said:
As for me, I'd say anything "Dune" that isn't written by Frank Herbert. His kid should be ashamed.

Robert Jordan killed the Wheel of Time series for me when, after about a dozen books in, the series is going along swimmingly, he says "Hey, if I'm making this much money on this many books, I bet I could make twice as much if I went back and rewrote the original books as two books each, instead of just one!" Then he had the gall to go and die before he finished the series. Pissed me right off. I know someone else is going to "finish it for him" but those never turn out right. It always just feels like fanfic after that.
Also, the ending to Stephen Kings The Gunslinger series.

Yay! You made it all the way to the top of the tower. Wait, you didn't bring the horn? Now you have to do it all over again *restarts books*. I didn't like that ending when I played Ghosts 'N Goblins when I was 8, I don't like it now.
This. saddest moment in a book ever. Gaunts Ghosts is a brilliantly written tragic war story, even if it is in the year 40k.Baron Khaine said:
And basically everything Leviticus said was BS.jdbuck said:
Plus the main character was a frikken Gary Stu. So, what, he has infinite power, he's all knowing, and he is completely benevolent? And let's not forget just about everyone loves him unconditionally. And lets not forget the main antagonist. He betray's his best friend (the protagonist), is evil for no reason whatsoever, and in the end is just smeared with tons of villian cliches.
And the plot. Oh wait, there isn't one. The entire book just jumps back and forth between several characters and there seems to be little to no themes or morals aside from good is better than evil.
And everyone loves this book. They made several movies on it and it's gained a religions following.
Aye, that's the worst thing about reading a Dan Abnett novel in my opinion, he always kills off the most liked characters, its just the kind of author he is, but god damn it makes for good reading.somedude98 said:
The Riftwar series of books by Raymond E Fiest has been steadily going downhill, and plummeted during the Conclave of Shadows series.
But I'm still a complete noob at reading, so take it for what it's worth.

In spite of the entire series holding a place in my heart, you have a point. What's more, my comment was going to be about one of the books in the Sword of Truth.Slaanax said:
My contribution to the thread? The Pillars of Creation by Terry Goodkind, which I feel was a huge departure from the rest of the series, and not in a particularly good way. Sure, it was still a good book (worse than all the others, but still good) and it did add to the story of the series, but there was an unwelcome sense of disorientation when being taken away from the established protagonists and being given a completely new protagonist who, in difference to the books preceeding it, comes out of fucking nowhere.
Really need to buy it, but I keep forgetting when I have the money.somedude98 said:
Gaunt really seems to be the only Commissar worth a shit.
