The best books I have ever read!

I love to read more than anyone I know and I have read probably thousands of good books. These are the best. They have enough action to keep you on edge throughout the whole series, but they are not utterly devoid of reasoning. While most popular science fiction and fantasy is just chock full of epic battles, space travel, fireworks, and quests, these books give you somthing more to think about for a long time afterward- the nature of war, religion, humor, love and humanity.  Phillip Pullman manages to weave together the lives of his characters in skilled and often unexpected ways. Definately a 5 star series. A word of caution- you MUST read them in order to understand the complicated plot.

Oh my goodness! This book, the whole series, are some of the best books I've read! I ate each book like they were candy! I loved the sociological aspects, how governments are supposed to be, or not, the characters are strong and human, and the not so syfy aspects are amazing with the genetic tampering, and lastly, I found then series incredibly inspirational!!! I was sorry to come to the end of the story! Thank you Mr. Ohman!

If you read one book in your life, make it this one!  This book is one of the most amazing texts that I have ever read in my life.  Phillip Pullman paints the characters so well that I felt like I knew his characters better than I know my closest friends.  This book changed the way I look at my world.  I read The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife when I was in high school, and I was hooked.  I have read tons of amazing fantasy and adventure books but this tops all of them.  Just a few weeks ago I went back and started reading the series over again, but this time The Amber Spyglass was out so I didn't have to suffer like I did in high school by not knowing the ending.  These books are amazing!  Lyra is a character that I fell in love with in the first book in a way that I thought I'd never fall in love with another character.  Then, in the second book Pullman introduces his readers to Will who is just as loveable a character.  I sat on the edge of my seat as I experienced the impossible challenges these two children face, and the amazing creatures they met along the way.  I always thought that The Lord of the Rings would be my favorite series of all time, but it pales in comparison to Pullman's series.  These characters and the ideas in these books will stay in my heart forever, and I'll always wonder what my own dameon looks life (a being you'll learn about in the book).

These Outlander Series are the best books I have ever read. Unable to put them down, I lost sleep as I devoured them. Now the series is on Starz and they are fantastic as well. I learned so much about History and life in Scotland. All other books I read now, pale in comparison. If you do decide to go through the Stones with Galbadon, clear your calendar first. You'll never regret your decision, and you'll feel great loss when you have reached the end, wanting only for the story to continue. Verra highly recommended.

I have no excuses. I admit freely that I have been living under a rock and when I came up in the world of internet I had too much spam and lost my money. LoL. However, I love this set of books and most definitely am a fan of this author.

Well I have to admit I have been locked in my room with this set of books and I am ecstatic to have finally gotten the chance to read em. The characters are amazing! They are a great pool of interesting and entertaining individuals that keep a person on the edge and constantly sharp. They are all strong characters in their own unique way. No two characters are the same and I am so appreciative of this fact. I would express my love of these books by simply fangirling, but I am just too excited to move on to Ford's book it's not even funny. But I do want to leave with this quote that culminates the entirety of this set of books:
"Fiona, it's me, Shrek. I rescued you from your tower to prove I'll fight for us. I'll fight for us every single time. You'll never even have to wonder if I'll be there, because I'll show the fu(h)ck up before that thought can even cross your mind. I want you, Ronin, and I'll risk everything for you. I will never walk out on you."

This quote explains why this omnibus edition is worth the money and risk. It brings laughter, sweetness, and a hea. Oh! And it also points out that not every hero in the story is it's counterpart. Sometimes, a girl needs to first save herself.

Absolutely fantastic! These books just keep getting better the further you read! The stories are fantastic and the more I read, the more I wonder why I didn't check these out sooner! If you're on the fence about getting into these stories, book or film, because of the negativity that so many people project about them, don't be. I grew up hearing tons of negative opinions about these stories, and because of that, I wasn't allowed to read the books (or watch the films). Now that I'm an adult and don't care what other people think I should or shouldn't do, I watched all of the films and am just starting book 4 and let me tell you, there is NOTHING wrong with these stories! No questionable morals, subliminal messages, or devil-worship to be found here whatsoever, or any of the other ridiculous things these stories have been accused of.

They are absolutely beautifully written stories that actually have some really great morals and people really need to get over their issues and quit being so judgmental of something that I bet you none of them have even bothered to read. Ok. Rant over.

I have read all three books, and all I want is MORE!  I haven't read any book this fast since Star Wars: Episode I and The Hobbit!  The only regret I had after finishing each book was that there wasn't more book to read!  These books are absolutely great, and are one of the best ways I've ever  seen to get kids to read (nevermind the demographic who's actually buying  the books, which is just about everybody)!  I really hope Rowling writes  FOUR MORE!
