FAVORITE BOOK CHARACTERS ( TAG 4)

My favorite book characters……

This is my fourth tag, got this one from Jahnabi, and since she was quick enough to do her tags, I decided to be on it as well

So basically am supposed to pick 5 characters which is super hard as I am a total book nerd so yea I mite just exceed the limit so forgive me for that

1) Becky (Rebecca Bloomwood nee’ Brandon) from The Shopaholic Series – the reason why am so found of her is because she is a complete replica of my character (excluding the fact that she has a really hot, multimillionaire husband ) , both of us think and talk alike, so basically when I read the book I feel I have psychic power or something as I can predict what she’s gonna do next

2) The Weasley Twins, Fred & George from The Harry Potter Series- am always at a loss of words for these two, mind blowing and superb, their gags are just hilarious, specially the one they pulled out on Umbridge and their tricks and all that crazy cool stuff in their shop! They are just sooooooooooo cool!!! Ahh bravo!

3) Gandalf the wizard and Legolas the elf from The Lord of the Rings Series - the reason I have put these two together is because they are from the same trilogy, anyone who has read LOTR knows that there are about a zillion characters but for me these two stand out; Gandalf for obvious reasons, he is like the “savior” and Legolas coz well he’s an amazing archer, and amongst the trio of Aragon, Gimli and Legolas; I think Legolas deserved a little bit of more importance than he actually got!

4) Feluda the detective by Satyajit Ray – hats of to the desi Sherlock Holmes! Cheers!

5) Robin Hood from Robin Hood by Georgina Hargreaves – daring in fight, wonderful archer, great sportsman, stern to the evil – doer he robs, he is generous to the poor and protects the women, god really he can totally do with men like him in today’s world

6) Mr. Braithwaite from To Sir With love – if only teachers were this great today…….

7) Hamlet from Hamlet by Shakespeare – the story comes second in line after The Tempest; which according to me is the best Shakespeare has ever written, though hamlet would be the pick among the characters coz you know the way he avenges for his father’s murder under the given circumstances, full of hatred for his uncle and loathing for his mother who married his father’s murderer!

I would like to mention one thing, the reason I din mention Harry Potter is far too obvious, like come on he’s so out of the league, I mean I love him, okay I know I sound corny but like if you really know me, you would know what I am talking about

Now for the passing on the tag bit…. Okay so I would like to tag…. Memyself_n_i, Nishi, Rohit, Shreyas,Ankit,Simply J and Ady (ha! Gotcha! Ok ok you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to)
