Deja White dejamonet2600d — This is a fascinating book, and Nabokov wrote more exquisite prose than just about everybody else who ever lived. You know, there's your life before you read Lolita and your life after. Humbert Humber may be the most bewitching villain in Englisn literature. In a word, incomparable.

Alex Castonguay alexcastonguay — The series was captivating when I first read it, though off-putting at the same time. I've just finished re-reading the series, and it's grown on me even more. A post-apocalyptic United States with a politically repressive capitol that has their meager transcontinental 12 districts under strict control, as well as put through continual retribution for an uprising attempt 75 years ago. Each district is forced to select a male and female teen tribute each year, to compete in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death in a staged arena for the Capitol's amusement, there being only one victor. Collins writes in a manner that first disturbs for seeming too demented of a premise, but later disturbs for its parallels to true human/ civilization's nature. The manner in which the Games are publicized gives thought to our own tendencies for publicity and story-telling, authentic OR contrived. Collins quite succinctly tells a story with much depth, and telling it from the perspective of Katniss, a 16 year old girl who has had to support her family by illegal hunting and who takes her younger sister's place in the Hunger Games, an almost surefire death sentence. We read as Katniss uses her hunting experience and knowledge gained from watching past Games to expose the extent of the country's ruins (and its modern attempt to revolt, as read in the last two books). Katniss is no doubt the heroine of the novels, but at times, an unlikable one (not to mention, unlikely and at times, unable). She takes the reader through a scope that is wrought with shrewd and practical survival knowledge, but also an immature teenager's whimsy and narrowmindedness/ stubborn nature. But what wins over the audience - both in the Hunger games and the readers - is her humility, passion and weaknesses. As the series progresses, the story expands beyond Katniss's story to include the story of revolution, which, surprisingly, is not lacking, even though told still from her perspective. In Hunger Games, we see only Katniss's struggles, though in Catching Fire, we see former Tributes' stories and additional forms of rebellion. In the finale to the trilogy, The Mockingjay, we see how the nation attempts to overthrow their oppressive government. Although, just like Katniss, judgments are skewed and mistakes are made. For me, this story continues to be very provoking; I think that the definition of 'happy ending' is in the eye of the reader.

Jacqueline Simington jacqsimington — If you're implementing Puppet, get this book. It's good, it's clear, and it was written by two people who work for Puppet Labs. What more could you want?

刘 凯威 liukaiwei — Dobby is ridiculous, as are most house-elves, and he just annoyed me from the start. Ginny Weasly is adorable and I love her. She loves Harry, which is super cute. I really liked this book because of all the Voldemort history, which I think is really interesting. Books one and two are definitely my least favorite. The others have so much more going on in them.

Galih Ananta anantasteyr — the novelization of the royal tennenbaums

Javier Maza jamazaf81e — Take a deep breath before diving into this book because you are going to need it. The action starts right from the beginning with hardly a pause for a breath before diving right into the next action scene. In my review of Mr. Strout's first Simon Canderous novel, "Dead to Me", I stated that this was an author with promise. In this second outing I have not been disappointed. The characters are well developed and the dialogue flows. I would recommend these books to anyone who is a fan of the urban fantasy, paranormal, action, adventure genre.
