BooksWe love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

Harry PotterThat's not fair. I agree that it is not brilliantly written but the story and the characters are great and that more than makes up for it. I think the books are excellent and they have also done a lot towards getting kids who are not interested in reading to read. My nephew for one!
My issue is with the later books which are just far too long. They would have benefitted from significant editing. They should be 20-25% shorter.

About 60% of the final bookis the main characters, hiding in a tent - if that really could have been cut.
