that book about Spot the dog....mad book, good as an Other Related Text too, visual, and had basic language techinques

 

[Will_Sparky]

Harry Potter 5!

 

[santaslayer]

the hobbit

 

[Generator]

It would have to be Jordan's 'Crossroads of Twilight'... I have never read a book that dragged on for so long with too many 'pointless' chapters that almost failed to deal with the three central characters...

 

[misery]

lord of the rings! 1000+ I think.

harry potter: ootp not as good as 4th book tho.

my copy of Don Quixote, 1500 pages

don't combine whole series and pass it off as one book.

lotr is 3 books, 6 parts.

harry potter #5 isn't all that long. Just looks big cause of weight, page thickness, margins, font.
PLUS it isn't all that good.

if you wanna combine series, try
Jordan's WoT
Wurt's wars of light and shadow
Goodkind's series beggining with Wizard's first rule

hehe

apart from that, long books (single books) = Melanie Rawn. huge books (1300pps'ish), lol, tiny writing, thin pages. :-\
few others, but don't exactly remember names.

"The Lord of the Rings is often erroneously called a trilogy, when it is in fact a single novel, consisting of six books plus appendices, sometimes published in three volumes."

That's what is says in the front of my book, which is published as one complete novel.

Edit: and I agree with you; Order of the Phoenix wasn't as good as I expected.

 

[bubz :D]

hehe i never have high expectations for anything anymore lol (unless people have already been/seen it/experienced etc)

so i was looking forward to harry potter #5 and i did enjoy it. though i still love book4. actually i can't really decide between any of them .... a lot of things in book 5 annoyed me, though

I think it's partly due to how you re-read the first four, knowing that the ending is going to be good and everything is going to turn out right, whereas with book five you read it dreading the part where Sirius dies, so it isn't as much fun. Who's got Sirius conspiracy theories? What's really behind that curtain?

 

[Trigger189]

LOTR is the longest book i have read... and yes, it is one book.. my copy is the full edition.

 

[mayhemily]

hey do we REALLY know that sirius is dead? Because someone told me it isn't confirmed, just assumed because he goes behind the curtain etc...
