So, I hate to say this, however I feel that as an avid reader I must. I came across an opportunity to go to the bookstore, which I haven't been able to for about a month, and look at all the new books that I hadn't read yet. I purchase one and then have the choice to spend the weekend studying for a big test in a business class or to read...needless to say I chose the second option.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins was amazing! I had heard about this trilogy but passed it off as another teen escape type of story and didn't read much into it. Now, the weekend has past, I haven't studied at all, and I have to patiently wait to get back to the bookstore for the second and third books.
This story explains a world that is in the near future (how far off from now is questionable). There are twelve districts where every year a young boy and girl are selected at random from each district to fight to the death. The story follows a young girl who volunteers herself so as to save her younger sister. This is a pretty addicting book to read!
I have heard great things about this book, and I have been meaning to pick it up and read it, but haven't been able to find the time due to school work.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it is really interesting, and I can't wait to actually have time for it!
