	It shouldn't accept just "Harry Potter"...need to know which Harry Potter book it is, as Hermione is not the last character mentioned in other books (nor is she the last mentioned in the series).

	Thank you for providing a response for Worzel Gummidge ;)

	You should accept The Mysterious Island for the Captain Ahab clue. Ahab is also featured in that Jules Verne book, and his name constitutes the last words of the book (in the translation I have at least).

	Totally put LLW instead of Magician's Nephew

	You're quite right, I WAS thinking of James Moriarty.

	Tahnan--actually, in the Lord of the Rings, Sam is the last person to speak, but Elanor is the last person mentioned by name.

	Why is Jonathan Harker in all caps?

	nice mix Flick. A couple I'd never heard of.

	Oh wow, nice bonus for Moriarty!

	I'm a little disappointed that my brain didn't tell me that 'Charlotte's Web' was worth a guess for the 'Charlotte' clue!

	I agree with AK_WDB. We should have to specify which HP book it is.

	His name may be Andrew, but he'll always be "Uncle Brandy" to me.

	katesutton:	Oct 10th, 2011 at 01:49 GMT		6 points
	@eab21 - because that's the way it's printed in the book.

	Niques:	Oct 10th, 2011 at 02:27 GMT		4 points
	What a good mix of books. It has been so long since I've thought of The Magician's Nephew. Glad that Uncle Andrew still rings a bell.

	"You're thinking of James Moriarty." GET OUT OF MIND, SPORCLE!!!

	I really pulled the one for Mr. Patel out of my you-know-what. I have no idea why the correct answer popped into my head. Shows what gets caught in the cobwebs of memory.

	Happy to be one of only about 6% of people that got Magician's Nephew.

	MikeNM:	Oct 10th, 2011 at 12:54 GMT		6 points
	Good quiz. Some of these were hard. How have fewer than 50% gotten Karamazov, though?

	Jonathan Harker is in all caps because it's from the last letter (Bram Stroker had Harker sign his letters in all caps throughout the novel).

	Twenty thousand leagues under the sea? I thought it was 10,000 miles...

	eab21:	Oct 10th, 2011 at 14:52 GMT		1 point
	@DelillaVD: If you want to think of it mathematically, a league is about 3.45 miles, so 20000 leagues would be about 5797 miles. So you're wrong either way.

	anybody else think of swallows and amazons of captain flint?

	kps7179:	Oct 10th, 2011 at 15:44 GMT		6 points
	I've read the entire Narnia series at least three times, and still missed Uncle Andrew. For shame.

	criswell8:	Oct 11th, 2011 at 01:18 GMT		3 points
	While Tom007 gets the name wrong, is he right that Captain Nemo is the last mentioned in "The Mysterious Island"? Because it should definitely be an alternative answer if so.

	What a fun concept for a puzzle. Kind of bummed about the low hit rate for Aureliano Buendia. I mean for his nephew--sure. Power-hungry lunatic. (or was that his son, grandson, or a cousin? I think two characters were named that. May have to re-read it--again.) He's so central to a pretty epic book. Gregory Rabassa, the translator (into English) lived in a friend's apt building in NYC and when there was a doorman strike and all the owners rotated shifts at the door, he was the doorman when I visited once. I got a kick out of that. My big brush with greatness--the translator of a book I love.

	I typed in 20000 Leagues under the sea and Around the World in 80 Days so I stupidly blindly typed Journey to the Center of the Earth thinking there was a Jules Verne novel pattern.

	Not sure what you mean by last named character in the book. I assumed it was the last character identified by name, but Billy Pilgrim isn't the last character mentioned in SF5. In fact his name is in the first sentence of the book.

	@dark journey...he means the last character mentioned before the books ends, not the last character introduced in the book.

	great collection of books here. There so different, yet all so good.
