Book Suggestion: The Hunger Games

[Robin Lodal]

I just can't wait for the final book. I was first introduced to the series about a year and a half ago when my friend brought over the book on cd (she drove in from MO)... she thought it was so great and just HAD to share... so we listened for hours... and then I just had to go and get the books... the funny thing is, the lady on the cd had a British accent so it was hard to not read the books with the accent lol Especially the names

This friend was also the one who introduced me to the Twilight Series (WAY back in the day) and Scott Westerfeld.... anyone read his books? OH MY STARS.... if you haven't, you need to check out his series "Uglies" series!!! Its so good!

Never heard of Scott Westerfield, but as I'm almost done with the series I'm working on now, and seeing as you seem to have the same taste as I do, I just may look those up.

Ironically, my aunt turned me on to Twilight, I saw on Meyer's site the recomendation for Hunger Games, read them, and then turned around and got my aunt addicted to them in return!

Oh you should! I think you will really like him. He has a few other series that I have not read yet but I want to look into. They look amazing! Such a good writer, IMO.

As for Meyer, I actually read 'The Host' before Twilight.

My friend who introduces me to all these books is a huge reader and is a librarian so she always passes along to me the "good reads"

What series are you reading now? Please share!

Right now I'm reading DreamQuake, which is the sequel to DreamCatcher. They're decent. I recently read Timeline by Michael Crighton. VERY good.

Hunger Games was awesome! I started Catching Fire about a month ago and am in about 2 chapters. I have not had tome to read . After I catch up on Greys tonight maybe I'll read

Never heard of DreamCatcher and DreamQuake? Is it worth it (since they are decent)? lol

Hmm... I will have to check out Timeline, that will be next on my list. I will see if the library has it! Thanks! I will let you know what I think of it. hehe

Yeah, they are still worth it, certainly. VERY unique storyline. They are just a bit confusing as first...nothing is really explained and leaves you a bit confused when you read it, but you start making sense of it as the story progresses.

I read Hunger Games several months ago, and loved it! I read it in one day because I couldn't put it down. I bought Catching Fire, but I'm scared to start it... I don't have the time!

I would definitely recommend this series to everyone!

What...too busy prancing around in that red leather thong to notice that before now?

[Sookie]

I just bought "The Hunger Games" and I can't wait to read it! It looks soooo good. Unfortunately I have to finish reading another book before I can start it.

[BamaFan121s]

Cool! I can't wait to see what you all think so we can discuss! I think the best part about HG is that you NEVER do figure things out. Just when you think you have, the author throws a major curve ball at you. Usually right at the end of a chapter so you just HAVE to keep reading and find out what happens.

Oh V....I just saw this...what a hoot! Not only can she read but now she is writing this stuff...who knew we would know someone so famous...

[BamaFan121s]

LOL...the heroine of my story is named Princess Poop a Lot.

[marcerella02]

I am halfway through the book! So far nothing has really "happened"- adventure wise but i still can't put it down- must be the amazing writing! can't wait until i'm done and we can discuss
