I have to say, Illmoor is brilliant, but it's not my fave book. My fave book is "Ptolemy's Gate" whis part of a trilogy called "The Bartimaeus Trilogy".
What are yours? ( Im guessing to see a lot of "Harry Potter's" lol)

Septimus Heap book 1 was excellent but book 2 was a little ridiculous but I'm still going to finish the series.

I agree with you viviorunitia, apart from the comment on Harry Potter. Septimus heap is a good book but it relies way too much on coincidences.
Also i had told my friend Eragon is going to be brilliant so i persuaded him to watch it with me, but the film was absolutely rubbish.
The film was way too cheesy, the person who played Eragon was too 'wooden' and the scenes with Galbatorix were always the same(with him telling the Shadeslayer off). The ending However, was good.

Hated the book and film of Eragon. Coincedences were more apparent in Septimus Heap book 2.
I hope for IC7 that he goes into a history of the creatures and all. That would be cool.

I admit i hated the film, but the book was unbelievably good, how can u not like it?
By the way, does anyone know wat do 'karma', 'Smite' and 'exalt' mean? They appear under each person's username.

30 pages into Eragon I was disgusted at his unoriginality, how he couldn't come up with his own ideas.

yeah Jezzy. why exactly do we have the karma thing under each of our names. i think its a bit pointless. the old ranking system was much better.

karma is the belief that if you do good things then good things will happen to you in return. equally, if you do bad things then the universe has its own way of making sure that bad things will eventually happen to you too. hope that helps.
