What's so good about fantasy is that it leaves you guessing alot. it's like you just can't put the book down untill you find out what's going to happen next.
*If you was to start reading any fantasy/science fiction book, I'd recommend "Eclipse". It's about vampires but i think that you'd like it.

Stephanie Tran (stephanienguyentran) | 19 comments Well in order to read eclipse, you have to read twilight first in order for you to get to know the storyline and the characters.

MacKinnon D. | 16 comments I recommend reading fantasy books but start with something that is actually GOOD unlike the twilight series if you want to start reading fantasy books the best way is to make a slow change from Non fiction to Fiction by reading some of the books that are based on true stories not like diaries or those things but things that have true basic ideas but a made up story. I recommend you read Thirteen Reasons Why its a great book about cause and effect on human emotions.

MacKinnon D. | 16 comments NO NO i just like went crazy reading that book i felt like i wasted a 3 weeks of my life. I mean i love vampires and everything but the way the book is made it makes vampires sound like all dramatic i guess someone would like it if you have a unrealistic view point on relationships and the Myth of vampires. The real myth was that vampires were spawns from hell not dramatic 400 year old 18 year old's with their "glistening bodies" i don't know i thought it was a complete joke if you like Spanish soap operas then you will like it for sure.

Um i think it was Jay Asher.

Im a fast reader so it wouldve taken me less days than that if it was so wonderful. New Moon was so boring i stop reading it. I just don't understand why everyone loves that series so much.

well you should start with harry potter because it has lots of magic and things out of the ordinary. Jose R.D

Amandla Adams | 18 comments DO NOT READ THE TWILIGHT SERIES!!! I personally think that the twilight series is for people who likes romance, but I like things that are completely out of the ordinary like the Eragon series(about dragons and people with powers like elves) or like the Pendragon series(about people who are trying to stop the bad guy from destroying other worlds)so it really depends on what kind of fiction type of books you think you would like.

MacKinnon D. | 16 comments Yes Iria is right new moon is HORRIBLE. I mean i don't like the series enough but then to base a whole book about a girl who is suicidal because some guy she has known for like only a year. Through the whole book i was saying come on girl GET A LIFE.
