ovalcitizenjr Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hey guys, So my A Levels are coming to an end (finally!) and this Summer I really want to get back into reading. I'm looking for books similar to the Harry Potter series; an epic, captivating story but with a few more adult themes thrown into it. Also any recommendations for an easy sci-fi read? Something that will hook me quickly as over the past few years I have started so many books and lost interest really quickly. Cheers!

Michelle Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It's not sci-fi, but have you considered The Hunger Games? It's very captivating, with lots to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayley Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Have you tried Trudi Canavan's The Black Magician Trilogy? It's more fantasy than sci-fi but it is a little like Harry Potter, only with more adult themes etc. Definitely worth reading if you havn't already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
