I truly apologize - this is the first time I saw this!

I'm having a hard time getting through the book. It's definitely not holding my interest. But, I'm stubborn and refuse to give up.

Just finished Catching Fire and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, the second and third books of The Hunger Games Trilogy.

If you haven't read The Hunger Games Trilogy yet, I highly recommend it.

Summary from Wikipedia.com:

The Hunger Games is a young-adult science fiction novel written by Suzanne Collins. It was originally published on September 14, 2008, by Scholastic.[1] It is the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy.[2] It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where North America once stood. This is where a powerful government working in a central city called the Capitol holds power. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each district to fight to the death. The Hunger Games exist to demonstrate not even children are beyond the reach of the Capitol's power.

Hammerfan - I think you'd love it. Definitely pick them up when you have a chance.

Not really psyched about the movie adaptations, but we'll see how it goes.

I actually just finished reading Catching Fire. I loved The Hunger Games, wasnt that crazy about Catching Fire though. I liked it, just not as much as the first. I'm worried about the movie's, they're probably gonna end up all Twilighty.

Just started House by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. Heard good things about both authors and this one came with a high recommendation. Have no doubts ill be doing the same. Found it in the biblical fiction section....kinda wierd.
Has anyone here read anything from either author? Seems like they both have books that became movies but not positive on that.

That's a shame usually Koontz's books are easy to read-I'm like that when reading Peter Straub's books which are purposefully complex and you need to give your full attention to what's what to get interested. Anyway I hope there's a good end to reward your perseverance

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. This is the third book in The Hunger Games trilogy. I wasnt too big on the second one but im hoping this one will be better. Can't wait to finish this and read some horror again though.

i read The Hunger Games trilogy a few months ago, i think the first one was the best out of all three. i'm hoping the movie adaptations are done right,but like The Villain said they'll probably end up like Twilight the books weren't bad and the movies aren't either, but i just don't like all the extra hype over them it kind of ruined it. i'm just glad i can like the stuff and make fun of it at the same time.

oh i'm currently reading Never Knowing by Chevy Stevens
and i just finished Brimstone by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

The Blackstone Chronicals by John Saul.

Halfway through the first book of the 5 book series, and it's well written enough, and effective enough, but I'm always aware of the things he's doing to manipulate my emotions- even though I still get manipulated into feeling what he wants me too. It's like he's writing for the lowest common denominator- which of course he is. It's meant to be a page turner and a bestseller.

Even though he's a master of his craft, I don't feel like the book has the soul or the passion of many small press releases I've read in the past few years.
