His Dark Materials trilogy
By Phillip Pullman is definitely one of my favourite stories. I read it every year, and it never fails to suck me into it's world(s). Can anybody recommend anything similar? I don't really like LOTR and I heard that the game of thrones books are a bit pants.
Worst book? Probably The Hobbit or Dorian Gray..

Harry Potter.

Some people have given some good recommendations. My mother in law is a hardcore LOTR fan, and shes despises any other of the fantasy series that made it 'big' (especially phillip pulman and Harry Potter) Not that she read any of them. I read the hobbit a few months back and was really disappointed. I didn't like the LOTR films...couldn't get into any of the characters. might read the series but im not in any major rush. His dark trilogy is one of those really special books to me, Il never forget reading it.( shame about the god awful film adaptation though)

It all goes a bit mental, doesn't it?
The first book was a really good atmospheric fantasy, the second had Will, who I thought was a fantastic character, and I really liked the idea of cutting in between worlds. The third one was completely hatstand though, I man, still enjoyable, but it was like a trip or something, with god as helpless baby, Metatron, the animals on wheels, the weird amber spyglass that shows dust... Just odd.

Just look in the children's section of the library.
