i would prefer it be a novel and if it has a chilling story that gives you goosebumps (but not like a horror story) more like it has irony. so does anyone know any books like that?

Perfume - Patrick Süskind \nBegins with the birth of a child, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, in 19th century paris that is born with no personal odor, making him appear different to others. However, he has a very strong scent to others and can smell everything for miles. He grows up to apprentice in a perfume shop and becomes obsessed with procuring the perfect scent that will make him fully human. In the process, he creates perfumes that manipulate human emotions, murdering 25 girls to take their scent. \n\nIts my personal favorite book, and they are making a film adaptation that should be out this year. Since the book is based on human senses, the author brings alot of detail to every setting in the book, making you want to read it more.

It's a pretty dark book, in its theme of imprisonment. It's probably a good book to do a report on though because there are a lot of good literary themes and devices. Also it's a classic - go for it.

"Presidential material, through and through!\nAfter reading the enclosed story "The Pet Goat," I was stunned by its lyrical beauty and easy cadence. The tempo, the choice of words, and the layout on each page captured my imagination so much that it took me about seven minutes to recover my bearings."\n\n---Amazon Reviewer "Lolla Fallujah" (FIVE STARS!)\n\ncopy/paste

This book is Harper Lee's masterpiece. I like the symbolism it inculdes very much. Are you a good reader? Did you read the Da Vinci Code? Tell me what you think about it.

Enough with Koontz or King.. they're great writers.  We get it.  \n\nLaymon rocks!  Check out Bentley Little, Edward Lee, Jack Ketchum ("Girl Next Door" may be one of the most disturbing books I've ever read.), or check out me!  :-) - http://www.mdekler.com

What?  Do you need a poem about the book?  Does it have to be one that is made up or can you find one that relates to the topic?  \nMake that a little clearer please....

You can try any of the Stephen King's, like The Shining for example, or Misery;\nThe Thirteenth Magician by Patrick Welch ;\nYou can also try any of Edgar Allan Poe's works--they are all pretty dark and gothic for instance:\nThe Fall of the House of Usher\n\nGood Luck with any of those, they are all good!

Put a twister to it. Most books about the end of the world all end just about the same. Try getting something different to happen like only a contiuation for the next book. Let want ever happens be only a book that is being read and not true.

Yeah, "Interview With the Vampire" is good, and there are sequels to it if you like it.\n\nSome traditional vampire stories are "Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan le Fanu and "Dracula" by Bram Stoker.\n\nVampire$ by John Steakly is set in contemporary times; it doesn't have romance, but has some conspiration-type elements.

Ella Enchanted (my favorite book of ALL TIME!!) If your 15 you should like the 'Princess Diares' seris by Meg Cabot, those are really good. as well as 'Size 12 is not fat' (By Meg Cabot) It's a murder mystery. umm 'The secret life of bees' by Sue Monk Kidd is pretty good, it's about life in the 60's. If you like greek myths than the 'Myth~O~Mania' books by Kate McMullan, are pretty good, there the 'real' myths told her way. Very Funny. If you like Adventur i would suggest the Alex Rider seris (first one is called 'Stormbreaker' by Anthoney Ho...something)

Looks like an interesting series of books by Cate Tiernan.  Had to go to Borders to find it.\n\nFrom reading the excerpts it appears to be sort of a 'diary' of a young teen just coming into her own.  She has a lot of decisions to make and a big revelation to cope with.  I'm hoping the series does not get too 'dark', but hey, life has it's darkness sometimes. If you learn something to help you cope with this world, go for it. "an harm none"  So mote it be. \n\nI am surprised no one has even attempted to answer your question, I'm hoping there are readers out there and not everyone lives on the net!

My favorite book is Timeline by Michael Crichton. It is a very exciting read, and I love the combination of futuristic technology and medieval times into one story.
