The Hunger Games.

So I just read "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins and really liked it. I started reading it last night about 10:30 and just finished it. In fact I hate to admit this but after going to three hours of church with my family, and then being asked by my cousin to go with him to Singles Ward, I took the book with me and read it during both speakers. I have never ever brought a non church book to church, so if that tells you how good it is, then take that as my recommendation. Also it is pretty action packed, keeps the reader interested and there is great character development so the reader cares about the fate of Katniss, Peeta, Rue, Thresh and the other characters. Also, the action starts right away, it isn't a boring wait for the hook. So read it. Read it for your book club, if you are going on a vaca. Get it on tape and listen in the car. It's worth it. The only problem is it is part of a three-quel so we have to wait. But the next book in the series comes out Sept. 1, so the wait will not be too long.

PS My cousin Owen read this thing through the whole family reunion. And my family is so awesome, that it must be good to keep him from all the socializing, game playing, and all around just hanging out together that reunions are famous for. So I think he is with me and approves of this review (maybe just not of throwing him under the bus for his reunion behaviors).

PPS My best Pal AK's book club read this. And the very educated woman which are members of the book club found this book very political and made some analogies to the current status of our government and the direction they are heading which is Socialism...so if you like that kind of stuff you could probably draw some parallels. And if you don't it's just a good read with out all the deep thinking.
