Man, that Suit is WICKED Cool!

I really love to talk about books. I also love to get other people reading and talking about books. This is one of the big reasons I like to plug for some of my favorite series.
The title of today's post is legitimately a quote from one of such series - that being Pendragon.

I know I've mentioned this guy in a previous post, so hopefully you remember that. If not I'll try to give a quick synopsis.

Pendragon chronicles the adventures of Bobby Pendragon and his quest to save Halla over the course of 10 books. What the fuck is Halla you may be thinking? As explained in the book, Halla is everything - all worlds past, present, and future. In the first book Bobby finds out he's Second Earth's Traveler. Travelers are people who can use the flumes to move between the 10 worlds.

Honestly that's just the beginning and if it sounds weird that's because it kinda is. If you're not into the fantasy genre, Pendragon is not for you. But if you are, you should really check it out. The writing style is somewhat juvenile - but the author (D.J. MacHale) is writing from Bobby's perspective - and these books chronicle his life from 14-18 years old.
I just have to take some time to give MacHale heaping amounts of credit for his work with this series. The time it must have taken to come up with this idea and to successfully create and intermingle 10 distinct worlds with their own histories and cultures and so many details.....it blows my mind!

Not all of the books are magnificent, but as a whole, the series is literary gold. Exhibit A: the aforementioned quote. Exhibit B: (can be found in the second book) crazy silly words that are really fun to say like 'sniggers' and 'Hobey ho!'

Safe to say this series fits my tastes very well.
Regardless, there is an element of lameness that comes right alongside it's awesome levels. Personally, I believe they meld quite well and neither really outweighs the other...but for me the fact that it's lame (and it works) makes it that much more awesome.

ANYWHOOOO.....back to shamelessly plugging....

Check out the Pendragon series by D.J. MacHale!!!!
