Hunger Games-
I enjoyed this book very much. It had me on the edge of my seat half the time and I literally read it in one day. Today actually. I've read plenty of books about futuristic societies and their 'questionable' practices (Uglies by Scott Westerfield for example) but this one takes the cake. It made me laugh, cry, bite my nails... It's a twisted combination of Lord of the Flies and the short story The Lottery with a female lead that I couldn't help but root for. My only complaint is the random times I felt the desire to skip a few paragraphs that seemed more like filler (redundant) paragraphs than anything else. With that said I still can't wait to start the sequel or the Movie!!!!!

Until Next Time :D
