MemberI am searching for good book to read and I was wondering if anyone could help me. My favourite books are the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling and the Twlight series by Stephanie Meyer. The qualities I look for in a good book are:
-fiction
-admirable main character that you can relate to (preferably 16-18 years of age, maybe a girl)
-romance and love
-mystery
-adventure
-page turner
-unputdownability
-preferably a series
-makes you laugh
-makes you cry
-well thought out plot
-rereadability
-where everything adds up in the end like a jigsaw
-a good twist
-longish book
-update to date/modern
-adventure
-supernatural
-good guys and bad guys
I know I am being very specific but I would really appreciate any suggestions- especially if you think it is better than Harry Potter!!!

MemberHello, Kate. Try Steven King’s “IT”. The book satisfies all your preferences except for one: it is not a book series… however, the novel is over 1,000 pages long, so lots of nights of good, scary reading! The following is list of comments by “IT” readers from Amazon.com:

Memberi like books on gangs and this one i read years ago called “underboss” by peter maas was really good. it’s about john gotti’s second-in-command sammy the bull gravano. it isn’t really ups and downs sort of reading but it does have the bad guys….lots of them.
a really good page turner i currently downloaded and am reading is “daaku” by ranj dhaliwal. this book made me cry in the first chapter and then a few chapters in i was hysterically laughing. it has its good guys and bad guys as well. really good book on a kid growing up and becoming a gangster. i picked it up on ibooks http://itunes.apple.com/ca/book/daaku/id529335282
