When people talk about their favorite books, notice that they don’t always bring up the author’s perfect grammar, his grand diction, or heck, they won’t even bring up the author at all sometimes.  Authors, like directors, are invisible to the common reader.  They understand that the person wrote the novel, but that is where their knowledge of that person usually ends.

What we normally become extremely attached to are the characters in those stories.  We put ourselves in their shoes, and sometimes grow so attached that when a story ends we feel it emotionally.

So when we talk about the best book series out there, we aren’t really talking about the story arch, but more the character arc and how those characters we love change and react to the events in the story.

This poll isn’t for single serving characters, I have picked some of my favorite series of books and made a poll.  What I want you to do is tell me what you think is the best book series out there.

If I missed on, add it down in the comments section and we can lobby this against my choices.
