Book Recommendation.

As many of you know I'm a fan of Stephenie Meyer. I have her official website on my Bookmarks Toolbar. Anyway. For the first time this last September, Stephenie recommended a book to her fans. The book is called "The Hunger Games". Naturally, I went out to the store the first chance I had and bought it. I've read it several times since then and I love it! I've been wanting to post it up on my blog, but I was never sure what kind of reaction I'd get. The book is, to say the least, gory.

The Hunger Games is a young adult science fiction-romance novel written by bestselling author of The Underland Chronicles, Suzanne Collins. It's the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy, with two more books to come.(The next book in the series ("Catching Fire") is due to release September 1st and the third is rumored to release around the same time in 2010.) "The Hunger Games" introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the ruthless Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts, who are then pitted against each other in a game of survival and forced to kill until only one remains.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking: Yuck! But really, I think it's worth the read. I recommend it every chance I get and by now most of my family has even read it. It's a story of morals and the fight to remain who you who really are. I enjoyed it. Suzanne Collins has a way of capturing your attention so that she has you on the edge of your seat until the book is over -and even then you'll be wondering where the heck the rest of it is. So, that's my recommendation. And now, I can't wait until September!
