The Hunger Games takes a hard concept, that parents would sacrifice their own children, and pulls it off. Not only does Suzanne pull it off, she sucks you into it in the process. It a story about love and friendship and takes a fresh look at the cost of survival – and sacrifice. The Hunger Games is well written and an easy read. I enjoyed it very much and I’m looking forward to the release of Catching Fire on September 1, 2009. ]]>

I have heard that the others in the series are better, but I'm not sure I'm going to spend the time to find out. ]]>

I don't. I have the real book. But everyone I know who has one, or the Sony version, can't live without it. They carry their entire library with them. It's awesome.

Funny thing. I work with Latin America partners and most of the time them misspell my name as Dough. I don't know if it's a finger-typing-habit thing or what, but I think it's funny. No worries!

Playing for Keeps was an interesting look at a city with superheroes and villains that isn't your typical "superheroes good, villains evil" view point. While I'm familiar with Mur's podcasts, I don't regularly listen to them, other than when she used to be with Pseudopod.org, so this book came as a complete, pleasant surprise to me. Overall, I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Way to go Mur! ]]>
