Has anyone ever read...

Origin, by J.A. Konrath? I just read it and I love it! It was like Jurrasic park. A little violent .. okay, really violent. But I like horror books and movies. I would recommend it, but, its...Extremely Violent. Everything is calm until chapter 23. Anyone else have any good books they recommend?!

@hay7199
@rawrcookies08
Okay! Ill try some of those!😊
But if you do read Origin, be warned, it gets violent. Like, very violent. But I doubt you will. It IS a VERY good book though😊

rawrcookies08 • 19 January 2012 at 7:26 PM

@7731826 I've read the Hunger Games series so I don't think violence will effect me 😋

@rawrcookies08
I LOVED Septimus heap 😃 I haven't read any of the new ones, but I read the first two or thee.

For the record, I am 17, and some of the following might be a little graphic for under 13's

Anything By Mercedes Lackey or Anne McCaffery (Musts for fantasy lovers)
George R R Martin's A song of ice and fire series
The Castings trilogy by Pamela Freeman
Clan of the Cave Bear (and it's sequels) By Jean M Auel
Ender's game by Orson Scott Card
Annnnnd I know there are more, I just can't think of them right now.

rawrcookies08 • 19 January 2012 at 7:27 PM

@boxofcrayons Cool! 😃

inkstep • 19 January 2012 at 7:28 PM

sounds like a cool book
What the night knows, Secrets to the grave, To kill a mocking bird, and any book by my good and personal friend, obert skye

7731826 • 19 January 2012 at 7:28 PM

@rawrcookies08
Okay😊 I never get affected by violence either, but chapter 24 grossed me out...and I loved the Hunger Games!😊

rawrcookies08 • 19 January 2012 at 7:29 PM

@7731826 😊 Me too!

7731826 • 19 January 2012 at 7:32 PM

@inkstep
Ive heard from a friend that 'To Kill a Mockingbird' was really good😊 the others sound cool too

inkstep • 19 January 2012 at 8:12 PM

@7731826
it is ^^ it takes place in the era of slavery, and the language is sometimes hard to understand, but it's really interesting and well written, I'm actually reading it for the second time right now XD

boxofcrayons • 19 January 2012 at 8:13 PM

@7731826 To kill a mockingbird was horrible until the last 50 pages in my humble opinion. 😃

@7731826 BTW when are you going to accept that lot? Or are you waiting for the best lot?

Orderedchaos • 19 January 2012 at 8:20 PM

Looks like @boxofcrayons listed most of my favorites already. (omg, you've read clan of the cave bear, read it in high school and loved it)

For recommendations that haven't been said already:
-Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs *Urban fantasy and a pretty good one too*
-Any thing by H. P. Lovecraft "At the Mountains of Madness" is a good start *Some of it is a bit dated since they were written in the 1920's but they are good*

I might think of more later. 😊

@7731826 sorry nope, I haven't read it before, I'm planning to read Epic though, I heard that's a really good book 😋 And when I first heard of Origin (from this thread) I originally thought it was part of the series.

boxofcrayons • 19 January 2012 at 9:28 PM

@orderedchaos
See what I mean?!

phoenizis • 19 January 2012 at 10:24 PM
