Pretty good but I prefer Kevin. I like the factoids about other political murderers but they interrupt the story. Today I read about John Hinckley, the idiot whose obsession with Jodie Foster drove him to shoot Reagan; I read a little about that a few weeks ago after the episode of "The Americans" in which Reagan was shot.

Yesterday I read about RFK and today he's talked about in the book I'm reading (I also read about Jordan a few days ago; Sirhan Sirhan had Jordanian citizenship). I'm enjoying the book so far; hard not to compare it to We Need To Talk About Kevin.

I've enjoyed it but I'm ready to finish it and start my next book. Too many boring examples that start to blend together over time.

I like when they discuss the way various political lies affect people. There's a section in which they talk about how a Republican Senator named Robert Bennett had his own party spreading lies about him. Glenn Beck and others claimed that he supported ObamaCare and it got accepted as fact despite the fact it was untrue.

Liking it a lot more now that the enormous and depressing chapter on education is over with. I like that they call out Republicans and Democrats, even though a part of me did get a little defensive LOL.

Somewhat interesting but very depressing for me. Put me in a bad mood today.

Interesting though I'm sure I won't retain much information. Loved that Singapore and Bahrain were referenced since I just Wiki'd them within the past two months. Also liked the story about how the internet was the only thing that allowed the world to know about the Syrian regime's brutality. Interesting stuff.

Almost through. For the most part I've enjoyed it but there were some confusing parts that dragged.

I like when I can understand what's happening but some of it is confusing. The way the mutiny happened was really poorly done.

It's started pretty slow but I think it'll pick up. I loved Jekyll & Hyde so I think I'll enjoy this too.

David is 91% done with Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)

The last chapter was kind of odd; I thought it was a dream at first. Things are going mostly how I expected but it's still very exciting. Why oh why does this series have to end?

Hard to believe I'm almost 2/3 of the way through. I absolutely love Johanna and wish she had appeared in all the books. Collins took a turn with Peeta that I certainly didn't see coming.

I love Hunger Games so much that I have no idea what I'm going to do when I finish it LOL. I'm going to miss Panem.

So excited to be reading Book 3 though I'm going to hate when it ends. Like that 13 is little better than the Capitol.
