I’ve always wanted to figure out what novel is my absolute favorite, but since I’ve read so many books, I always end up with
a huge list and I just can’t seem to pick my favorite. So this week I decided to compile a list of my favorite 10 novels. The list is constructed in no specific order and series only take up one spot. So here it is.
-The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, (book 3 not out yet) this series is great for teenagers even who don’t often read. It is beautifully written, suspenseful, and exciting, both guys and girls will love it.
-His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, a genius series that involves science, religion, war, and politics. This is as epic as stories get and yet it is told mostly through the eyes of children.
-World War Z by Max Brooks, a detailed story about a zombie war written in the format of a bunch of interviews. It involves every aspect of war and is the best zombie novel I’ve every read.
-I am The Messenger by Markus Zusak, great youth novel that is realistic yet remains motivational and optimistic.
-The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, kind similar to with “to kill a mocking bird” but also very different and extremely original.
-Paper Towns by John Green, a very funny yet extremely deep story, one that speaks to today’s teens.
-Looking for Alaska by John Green, a serious, deep and moving story. This story says a lot about life and mortality.
-Percy Jackson and The Olympians series by Rick Riordan, interesting novel that anyone can enjoy.
-The “GONE” novels Michael grant, a great interpretation of an adultless world, exciting and suspenseful.
-The Fade by Chris Wooding, beautifully imagined world, but perhaps the most depressing novel out there, but I still really enjoy it.
And that’s the list, not much else to say except that “twilight” was not included for reasons that should be obvious
