Can u remember ur first novel? if so state the title/author and whether u found it interesting

i still remember mine ,it was"FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC" by V.C Andrews,a very touching and heartbreaking book.


So wat about u, can u still remember?

my first was probably Nancy Drew.I remember the first line.Hahah

my first novel was prolly something from enid blyton, i must have read about 100s of her books then, but one of my first real novel was "the girlfriend" by R.L Stein (Goosebumps author). i was in pry 5 then ans my teacher made a huge scene when she saw it.

I think my first novel was "If tomorrow comes" by Sidney Sheldon then Stranger in the mirror , The other side of Midnight, Besty by Harold Robins,. Read lots of pacesetters to. This is assuming Yoruba novels like Igbo Olodumare, Ogboju Ode et at are not counted.

Evbu My Love - Pacesetter Series. Was wonderful then.

invariably U all started reading late, cos i 4 one can't recall my early book since i read anything worth reading

The Famous Five by Enid Blyton
Cant remember which one though, i've read all of em'

Famous Five Series by Enid Blyton

then came almost everything else for enid blyton from the wishing chair to the 3 golliwogs

my first adult novel was rockstar by jackie collins. i was about 13 then

i cant remember dats too long ago

COAL CITY, cant remember the author, was in elementary 5 then and there was a competition in the house on who would finish first. Would still be a compelling read if i come across it again.

I have read loads of books but I think the first novel I read is ' The Passport of Mallam Ilia ' by Cyprian Ekwensi. It is a classic Nigerian novel and it is very easy to read. The book looks like a passport itself. I read the book the first time while I was in Primary four. I have reread several times since then. Someone told me recently that some American movie producers want to turn the book into a film. For me, The Passport of Mallam Ilia is it. Cheers.

My book of Bible stories,
funny that it was my first book considering my life philosophy now,

cant really remember, something between Ali's bycicle, Ade our naughty little brother and heidi. but my first real novel was "time changes yseterday" by Nengi Kion. i've read about a dozen times and i will most def read it again.

Nyengi Koin you mean?
Excellent novel, it painted an almost vivid picture of couples dealing with sickle cell disease.

First real novel was "Magic Faraway tree" by Enid Blyton.
