One of my favourite fantacy books are the chronicals narnia by cs lewis, the adventrous and risk taking storyline capitvates the reader. The story takes place in a fantacy land called Narnia. Three movies have been created based on the books. I personally recommend this book for readers who enjoy reading fanatacy and adventrous storylines.

All of the books that I read are fantasy, and the problem is I love them all! If I had to choose a favourite book or series it would be the Harry Potter series and the Rondo series.I love fantasy adventure stories, like in Harry Potter all the books have a thrill in them. In the rondo series though it has the feel of excitement. I feel that both are really thrilling stories with an unexpected twist in it.

My favourite fansty novel is the hunger games series. I really enjoy reading it because it is unquie. Anthother raeson why I like the novels is because the book is written from Katniss' (the main character) mind and point of view. Unlike most books where their is a narrator.

My favourite fantasy novel would definately have to be the Hobbit. It is such an adventurous and imaginative story. The book has many complications that uprise spontainiously which makes you so attached to reading it. It is written by J.R.R Tolkien and i advise you to read it because you will really enjoy!

My personal favorite at the moment is Skullduggery Pleasent as it is quite dificult to predict what will occur next and the creativity and imagination delivered in the book is almost like the writer had lived the story. The novels' setting is based in a human reality but a fantasy full of creatures is in the reality at the same time creating a great effect you don't see often in books. It's a good book
