Some of my favourite series are
∆ Eragon, I am waiting for the fourth book. The movie was good before I read the book, but with the book read it is a load of crap to be straight forward. It is nothing like the book, and the book was too large to make a movie out of it. Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr were a great series, but I hope the fourth book comes out before I start to loose my interest in fantasy. The books are big and detailed and very engaging. I thought the author was really creative with this series, and it was meant to be a trilogy but he got too carried away and couldn't fit the story in three books only XD
∆ Tomorrow series, based on Australia getting sprung with a surprise invasion and being taken over by an Asian nation, which was not stated in the book (probably because of any offense to the nation). The story follows are a bunch of teenagers who have not being taken prisoner yet and follows their survival in the bush and how they are trying to sabotage the enemy when they can. It takes a really unexpected twist when they rescue a bunch of young children later in the series, and there is a fair bit of death in it. The movie was really good I thought, the story wasn't changed too much, a little was though. The first series of seven books were really engaging, but it was really in depth about the main characters emotions all the time, so it wasn't all just killing, killing, killing. She is recounting what happened so there is a lot of emotion in it. Same with the second series based after Australia is divided and terrorist groups sneaking over the boarders. That adds more depth to the series and shows you how everyone is recovering but I thought the end was rather sad. The series is not a happy series, it is more depressing and makes you think how lucky we are.
∆ Maximum Ride series, my current series I am reading. At first I thought it was going to be too childish for me but in the and the series got me hooked and I couldn't stop reading. I was reading 200 pages a day forcing myself to stop, so I guess I am loving it XD I want wings now x;
