The Hunger Games

I have a new obsession. It's this book. I had heard about it from numerous people and for my birthday back in Septemeber my brother and sister-in-law bought it for me. I have been refusing to read any books lately because I am taking an Independent Study class that I need to finish. Well, over the Memorial Day week-end I decided to take this book with me for enjoyment on the plane ride. Little did I know the affect it would have on me. It had my attention from the beginning. I didn't want to put it down. I read during my entire flight to Long Beach. While visiting Eric I didn't really read much because I wanted to spend time with him. Well, on the plane ride home I got even more into it. This nice girl next to me was really chatty. Usually I am ok with that on plane rides, but this time I was not. I wanted to read, and read I did. I probably would have stayed up all night that night to finish it, but I had to go to work. I think I stayed up too late for the next few nights just to finish it, and it was so worth it. I loved the book. It was suspenseful and thought provoking, at least for me. I loved the characters and just the whole story. My friend is bringing me the second book for me to read. I can't wait. I hope the second one is as good as the first. This same friend told me that they are making it into a movie. AWESOME! I am definitely going to see it. I feel like a nerd writing about how much I love this book. If you haven't read it, get up from your chair RIGHT NOW, go to the nearest library or bookstore and get this book. You will thank me. I promise. Anyone else out there love this book as much as I do?
