Abhijeet Earandole _rrowphotgraphy — There is so much in this book to make you say “Wow”. Sure, there’s a lot here that’s been done before… a post-apocalyptic world where the people are oppressed and forced to take part in some winner-takes-all contest to the death is nothing new, but here it is done so well. Katniss is everything you would expect from a girl that’s had to take care of herself and her family most of her life. She’s simple, straight to the point, does what needs to be done however she has to, and yes, a little cold. But she’s also stunted. She’s so busy being a grown-up that she’s never had time to be a teenage girl, and her people skills are certainly lacking. When she throws herself into the Games in order to save her much younger sister, she’s forced to come to terms with her weaknesses. The Games themselves are a horrifying construction. 24 children (yes, children — they’re all 18 or younger) are forced into an arena of unknown makeup (will it be a forest? a desert? a frozen wasteland? will there be water? wildlife? edible plants?) and are left there to kill or be killed until there is one victor. As if that alone isn’t enough, the games makers are there to shake things up and encourage battle, and the entire thing is televised, 24 hours a day. Katniss’s fight for survival is not only a physical one, but an emotional one, as she struggles with her feelings for fellow tribute, Peeta. Since there is a second book (and supposedly a third), I’m going to assume that you realize that Katniss makes it through this alive. However, all is not necessarily well, and the way the book ends makes you wish there was just one more chapter. The abruptness of the ending has upset some people, but I think it’s appropriate. It leaves you wondering and a little bit confused, much like Katniss is herself. Because remember, despite what she’s done and what she’s been through, she’s still just a 16 year old girl. As a side note, if you’re considering this for your young adult reader, there’s no sex or bad language here, but there is a *lot* of violence, some of it quite gruesome. Can’t wait for book 2.

Janick Dupont janickdupo7bbd — This was by far my favorite book to read. There were many positive qualities about this book that made me enjoy this book. My favorite thing about this book was the imagery. Every page seemed to be filled with similes, metaphors, and descriptive words. It was fascinating to read this book with the imagery, but it was also the characters I enjoyed reading about. While several of the other books had very lackluster characters, in this story I learned all about the lives of every single character in this book. Normally, this would be annoying to read, but the way the author split up the chapters in the book to switch every few paragraphs to a different person made the reading much more interesting. At first, this method of writing was confusing and hard to follow, but after about 100 pages of this book, I had trouble putting it down. All in all it was a very interesting book to read, and without a doubt was my favorite summer reading book.

Jing Cao 21028780a39c — Swanson seamlessly weaves the intertwined search for Jeff Davis and the public mourning of Lincoln in his second book. Well worth the read for no other reason than its thoughtful depiction of Jeff Davis as equally devoted to his political beliefs as Lincoln was.

Luzeth Cordova luzethco — Three for three! Another great book! It was a quick easy read with a great story...

Matheus Alves malvchaves — This is the second English translation of an educational and entertaining if painfully pretentious manga series about Japanese cuisine. This volume focuses on sake, as you probably guessed by the title. However, it also goes into wine and champagne. If you are a wine lover, prepare to be offended. In this volume we learn of the terrible shortcomings of wine, particularly that it can't possibly go with seafood, ever. But sake on the other hand goes with everything. All trash talking of wine aside, I think that this book makes some very good insights into the sad state of the sake industry. But it also offers hope for the future of sake. Strangely, this is also how I feel about beer. If you are a beer lover like me, you just might see what I mean. I feel like I just reviewed a documentary, but this is actually a work of fiction.
