This is the third book in 'The Hunger Games' trilogy. It is my least favourite of the three books in the serious although still a very good book. This is definitely a series that you must read in sequence. This a post apocaplyptic, science fiction series. All of the books contain elements of violence and darkness but this is by far the darkest of the three. At times the character's depressions and anger became opressive. I would definitely save this for an older youth audience.

I recommend this book to every parent! I saw Ms. Skenazy speak at a conference I went to last year and she was hilarious! She debunks all the myths about stranger danger and the boogeyman lurking around every corner. A must read!!!!!!

I recommend this book to all my friends who don't know what they want to do with their life. I adore this book, and I found many of the stories really compelling about the human, american, condition. Some are so inspiring they make you want to go out and do whatever your heart desires, while others remind you that life is hard and sometimes you just get... stuck.

FIRED UP Premilla Nadasen A Review of Boycotts, Buses, and Passes: Black Women’s Resistance in the U.S. South and South Africa By Pamela E. Brooks University of Massachusetts Press Whom do we credit for the massive 1950s grassroots campaigns for racial justice that challenged South African apartheid and led to the dismantling of Jim Crow segregation in the U.S.? The courage and fortitude of Nelson Mandela? The eloquence of Martin Luther King Jr.? While Mandela and King were the most visible leaders of black freedom movements in South Africa and the U.S., Pamela Brooks suggests looking not at how the men made the movements but how the movements made the men. In her view, they were movements constituted in good measure by women. Her history of the liberation struggles identifies an incipient feminism in which black women demanded equality with men, respect in their workplaces and economic security for their children. Her subjects are proud, defiant and fearless, refusing to ride segregated buses in Montgomery, Ala., and gathering before the Union Buildings in Pretoria to burn the government issued passes that controlled black women’s mobility. Because Brooks writes about parallel movements on distant continents, she enables the reader to imagine the transnational struggle for racial justice that was brewing across the globe. She highlights the cross-fertilization that energized these two mid-century struggles, but place and culture and community loom large in her story; they were the building blocks of the women’s political campaigns. Brooks carves out for these women their rightful place in the history of the black freedom movement—one increasingly examined by scholars but still sometimes minimized. Women were not only participants and supporters, but also visionaries. They were domestic workers who walked to work for 381 days in Montgomery rather than ride segregated buses, and they were members of the Federation of South African Women who endured arrest and harassment for their opposition to apartheid. But Brooks also claims for them the mantle of feminism. As she sees it, feminism was not separate and distinct from the struggle for racial equality, but rather an essential part of how these black women defined their own liberation. Gender profoundly influenced their experience of racism and apartheid— whether in the form of limited job opportunities or the particular pattern of disrespect meted out to women of African descent. And gender identity became one way they established political connections, through groups such as the Montgomery-based Women’s Political Council and the African National Congress’ Women’s League. Boycotts, Buses, and Passes should give us pause to consider, on the heels of the election of our first African American president, not only the artificial divide between race and gender in much of the media coverage of the presidential campaign, but also the historic role of women in progressive causes and the many thousands of unsung heroines who laid the groundwork for Obama’s historic victory. --- PREMILLA NADASEN is associate professor of African American history at Queens College, City University of New York, and author of WelfareWarriors: The Welfare Rights Movement in the United States (Routledge, 2005).

This was an amazing book. It followed one family who loved baseball through nine generations. It was awesome. It went from an Irish immigrant to a modern day teenager. All love baseball. All breathe baseball. All live baseball. It never went into great detail. It was awesome. You've got to read it.

Loved it! As a pop-culture nerd and gaming geek that grew up in the 80's, this book really hit home and brought back a lot of fond memories. I blasted through this book in a day's time, and enjoyed every second of it. I will recommend this book religiously to anyone who cares.

Bizarre book. Wouldn't have read it if I wasn't desperately in need of reading material at an airport

Loved it.
I liked the way this book was written--in phone conversations, diary entries, memos, and speeches--instead of being narrated. This book shows how a problem can get pretty nasty in just a few days. I liked the plot--the way the characters said anything but the truth. (That's where the title comes from.) It gets pretty funny at times. But, I deeply dislike the main character. He is so shallow and self-centered, and he is the one starts the whole problem! I have mixed feelings about the ending. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.
I love Eight COusins and loved to continue the story in Rose in Bloom, a beautiful addition to the preceeding novel.
