I read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins in less than 48 hours. And mind you, this is while working full time and even having a friend over one night to kick back a few beers on the patio. (Yes, it was on a Monday.)
This book was apparently written for teenagers, which makes me want to get braces and be an awkward teen again. (Ok, that was a convenient analogy. The Bookworm never had braces, but you get my point.) The Hunger Games is awesome, and (obviously) a quick and exciting read. I am late in my ravings, since it is already being made into a movie, and Blog Readers Natalie and Erin have recommended this book to me multiple times. Key lesson: listen to friends who love books.
The other night my Mom told me all the books I was lending her were depressing. So I told her The Hunger Games was next on the list. “It’s about kids killing other kids for food!” Somehow that didn’t sell her. I guess if she wants to go back to teen reading it will have to be Judy Blume. Or in her case, Nancy Drew.
