Still enjoyable the second time around. The family dynamics, religious discrimination, and multi-generational story led to interesting book club discussions last night. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78348716 The Ghosts of Belfast (Hardcover) by Stuart Neville

by Bryan Gruley

Sharon, I thought this was a terrific murder mystery. The author is here on goodreads and was very amenable to discussing the book and answering questions online.

Hope you like it! There's a sequel in the works.

SPOILER ALERT -
I was disappointed at first to hear that Katniss and Peeta were heading back into battle, hoping that the book would focus on the rebellions going on and growing in the districts. The Games were so different in this book, though, and there was so much more going on behind the scenes, that that opinion didn't last long.

I was listening to this book and as the end drew near, I kept thinking that I must have forgotten to download the last few hours of the book. Then - it just ended - and what an phenomenal way to leave us wanting more.

Collins has a wonderfully creative mind to be able to think of all of the challenges, tools, and animals in these books. Can't wait to read what she comes up with next! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78070028 Oryx and Crake (Paperback) by Margaret Atwood
