What I like out of a great story may seem strange to some, but I like well flushed out characters (both the good guys and the bad) who through a series of events end up being killed off. I love the emotional attatchment you feel rooting for your favorites to survive and ultimately being genuanly upset when they do not.
Examples of books i Love:
Jurassic Park (pretty much anything by michael Crighton)
The Rising (pretty much anything by Brian Keene)
Game of Thrones (The entire series so far)Im trying to find a great book to read?
I think you might enjoy some of these books:
A. SIMILAR TO: THE RISING by BRIAN KEENE
1. Apocalypse of the Dead by Joe McKinney
Summary: Two hellish years. That's how long it's been since the hurricanes flooded the Gulf Coast, and the dead rose up from the ruins. The cities were quarantined; the infected, contained. Any unlucky survivors were left to fend for themselves. One boatload of refugees manages to make it out alive - but one passenger carries the virus.
2. The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan
Summary: A vampiric virus infects New York and spreads outward, threatening the city and then the world, as a CDC doctor and a Holocaust survivor fight to save humanity.
3. The Infection by Craig DiLouie
Summary: A mysterious virus suddenly strikes down millions. Three days later, its victims awake with a single purpose: spread the Infection. As the world lurches toward the apocalypse, some of the Infected continue to change, transforming into horrific monsters. In one American city, a small group struggles to survive. Together, they fight their way to a massive refugee camp where thousands have made a stand. There, what's left of the government will ask them to accept a mission that will determine the survival of them all--a dangerous journey back onto the open road and into the very heart of Infection.
B. SIMILAR TO: JURASSIC PARK by MICHAEL CRIGHTON
1. Jaws by Peter Benchley
2. The Land that Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Summary: Torpedoed by a German U-boat in the South Pacific during World War I, a group of adventures find themselves marooned on Caprona, a hidden island seemingly suspended in time, and inhabited by dinosaurs.
3. West of Eden by Harry Harrison
Summary: A young hunter grows to manhood among the dinosaurs, escaping to rejoin his own kind, his knowledge of the reptiles' strange customs allowing him to become the humans' leader and the dinosaurs' greatest enemy
4. End of an Era by Robert J. Sawyer
Summary: Archaeologist Brandon Thackery and his rival Miles 'Klicks' Jordan fulfill a dinosaur lover's dream with history's first time-travel jaunt to the late Mesozoic. Hoping to solve the extinction mystery, they find Earth's gravity is only half its 21st century value and dinosaurs that behave very strangely. Could the slimey blue creatures from Mars have something to do with both?
C. SIMILAR TO: GAME OF THRONES by GEORGE R.R. MARTIN
1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Summary: In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival.
2. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (Kingkiller Chronicles)
Summary: So begins the tale of Kvothe-from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, to years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe as a notorious magician, an accomplished thief, a masterful musician, and an infamous assassin. But The Name Of The Wind is so much more-for the story it tells reveals the truth behind Kvothe's legend.
3. Warbreaker (Tor Fantasy) by Brandon Sanderson
Summary: Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn鈥檛 like his job, and the immortal who鈥檚 still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren鈥檚 capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished.
