With the year 2011 coming to an finish, I thought this would be the appropriate time to tell you about my choose of the top rated five fiction books of the year. This year has been a excellent one for all lovers of fiction with fairly a handful of wonderful fiction books being released and some amongst them took the literary globe by storm.

Though I wanted to pick the leading 10 fiction books of the year, I think I’ll almost certainly take that out as a second post. So without further ado, here’s my list of the leading 5 fiction books of the year.

A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin

This epic fantasy series has taken the planet by storm and is now also a key HBO production. With this series, George Martin has developed a fantasy globe that is each surreal and breathtaking. It was initially planned as a trilogy but the series has now gone on to five books and two far more are expected to be released. The most recent a single in the series, A Dance with Dragons, was published this year and has already won several awards.

Only Time Will Tell by Jeffery Archer

One particular of my preferred authors to date, Jeffery Archer surprised several critics with his 2011 novel, Only Time Will Tell. This book is vintage Archer stuff it has all the hallmarks of being a cracking fiction book. His style of writing is still the very same and with his latest book, Jeffery Arches has delivered but an additional masterpiece.

Scarecrow and The Army of Thieves by Matthew Reilly

In my opinion, Matthew Reilly is 1 of the most incredible fiction writers of this decade and but also a single of the most under-rated. Chances are that extremely few of you would have even heard of him, but for all those who have, his fiction novels are complete of adrenaline, twists and thrills that are bound to leave you on the really edge of your seat.

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

With the fourth and final saga in the Inheritance Cycle, Paolini has created a single of the master-pieces of the year. This tale of a young boy who finds a dragon egg is a single of the ideal fantasy books I’ve ever read and definitely tops my list of the best fiction books of the year.

The Property of Silk by Anthony Horowitz

For all you Sherlock Holmes fans out there, this is a dream come accurate. This is the 1st Sherlock Holmes novel to be published by an additional author other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and this remarkable fiction book scores on all fronts. A definite should read for absolutely everyone.
