The Hunger Games

Have you ever read a book that you loved even as you hated it? That's exactly the way I feel about Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games. It's written in present-tense, which is really hard to do, and it tells a story that is really hard to tell.

You know, I was going to say more, but... with this one, you just have to see for yourself.

Third book comes out soon, and I can't wait.

  1. Sounds Greek...like the audience commits hubris by even reading it. Interesting...

  2. It is quite Greek, but it seems to be taking a Eumenides turn rather than the Euripides. Still, the third book hasn't appeared yet.
