The Hunger Games

After Harry Potter became my favorite book series ever, I was fairly certain no other book would capture me as well as it did.  Then Twilight came out and proved my theory even more accurate.  So when The Hunger Games series became "all that" I was very skeptical.

But my roommate Kim just loves to read and talked me into at least trying to read the book.  And I have to admit, she got me hooked.  If I didn't have work and sleep to deal with I would have read the whole book in a day!  Okay, no, I'll be honest, it took me a few chapters to really get into it because I was so determined to not like the book.  Especially since it is slightly horrific!  In fact, I'm a little nervous to see the movie because of the violence I know will be in it.

Oh yes, the movie.  It comes out Thursday.  I picked a great time to get into this series!  I finished the first book last night and have two more to go.

I would definitely highly recommend it.  I was skeptical at first, especially with how totally horrible and demonic it is, but I think it's leading to something great.  At least, I hope so.

I'll check back in when I'm done with the next two books!
