I just got finished reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Nicely done. I've been reading a lot of crappy stuff lately and this book was a very pleasant surprise! I really enjoyed it. I even got on Amazon.com to leave a review. The review is below but I'll say, if you get a chance to read it, do. It's worth the effort.
My review:
Tough Concept Nicely Done
The Hunger Games takes a hard concept, that parents would sacrifice their own children, and pulls it off. Not only does Suzanne pull it off, she sucks you into it in the process. It a story about love and friendship and takes a fresh look at the cost of survival – and sacrifice. The Hunger Games is well written and an easy read. I enjoyed it very much and I’m looking forward to the release of Catching Fire on September 1, 2009.
