I am looking forward to book 12. Scuttlebutt on the Net says that it should be over 1400 pages, but that still would have to be fast paced to tie up all the subplots.

Sabriel by Garth Nix is good.. 3 books in the series and a living author.. also Shades Children is a pretty decent sci fi by the same author

Hard to say. Pillars was impressive, the sequel is very... similar. It's more of the same really, does that make it worse? At least it's not as impressive. But it's enjoyable. You could borrow my copy, I didn't leave it in Christchurch. I'd have to figure out a way to get it to you though []
I looked up Brandon Sanderson in the library. They had some dutch translations, but nothing in the english section.

Has anyone read the Eragon series? I was about to start those in the next week or so.

I need a book. He mostly likes military books (has read a few about Nam, WW2, Civil War). Age appropriate for an 11 year old if you can think of one. Difficulty is not really an issue with him, but grandma bought him one that had more cursing in it than happy hour at the VFW.
EDIT: Fiction that is. |

At 11 I remember reading and loving this book: http://www.amazon.com/Nicholas-Ren%C...4716950&sr=1-1 I read I in french but I heard the english translation is quite good. It's a series of short stories a bout a small boy and his friend. It's based in France in the 50's, but I don't think it realy mathers to an 11 y.o. I read it again recently, ant it's also great for adults. There is 5 of them in the series.
