Default Garth Nix

I don't know how many people have heard of him coz he's an Aussie and all and we're not really that we renowned. But Garth Nix is an awesome author to me. What do you think?
By the way he wrote:
Sabriel
Lireal
Abhorsen
and some other childrens books that i haven't read and i can't remember the name of....

I love Garth Nix! I've read four of his books so far!
Sabriel-Kick ass book! It's one of my favorites.
Lirael-Awesome sequel to Sabriel
Abhorsen-Great way to end the trilogy, kick ass book.
Shades Children-Odd book, but still good!
Garth Nix is a genius of literature.

It's funny how all of the Kithic club is posting in here :lol:
I loved Sabriel! My friend made me read it and I fell in love with it! For a long time I've been turned off to fantasy, but Sabriel brought me back. Good series.

Sabriel was the book that got me into fantasy. Let alone reading. I love it and recommend everyone to read it! I got lots of my friends to read it, they all loved it.

Shades Children is about this guy named Shade who takes in kids after the world has been destroyed. I haven't read it in two years, so my memory is kind of choppy. Anyways, the book focuses on one of Shade's teams of teens. It's a really strange book, but I remember it being really good. I don't remember much, sorry. The ending is really good.

Like DreayAya, Sabriel was the book that got me into fantasy reading. Nix is a poppin' genius when it comes to this topic. My favorite out of the triology is the last, even though it sort of dragged on--the ending got to me the most.

Shade's Children is wonderful and orginal book too. It's one of my all time classics. It goes really in depth with machines and this surreal world that he created. Very good read. I recommended as well.

The end of Abhorsen really shocked me and it was kind of abrupt. None the less the trilogy was awesome.....
I forgot to mention my favourite book before, it would have to be Lireal.... i think it's because i seemed to relate to Lireal herself to a certain degree....something about not fitting in with where you are...
