I really loved “Breaking Dawn”, by Stephanie Meyer, and “Brisingr”, by Christopher Paolini.

Anything by Stephenie Meyer or Scott Westerfield! Both authors are extremely gifted writers who make the novels interesting enough that you can’t put the book down! They are for those who like sci-fi mixed with a little romance.

Mmmm Stephanie Meyer is very very overrated. The fad of the Twilight books has gotten way out of hand and acts as more of a novelty than anything else.
Paper Towns was EXCELLENT though.

Personally, I liked both Breaking Dawn and Brisingr, but the best book I’ve read from 08 was The Sky Inside. It really creeped me out, with the government control bit…I read it at the same time I read Anthem in Language Arts class, so the parallels between the two were really interesting; it seemed like they were built upon the same principles but The Sky Inside had advanced technologically while Anthem had regressed.

Hmm, I never read Sky Inside, but it looked interesting. Now I am going to have to check it out.
