Fascinating how such a beautiful story grew from one simple dream.

Magical! Everything I expected and more. I want to read the rest of the series now. The hardback copy that I had was lovely with absolutely beautiful colour illustrations.

I really enjoyed reading this book by Suzanne Collins. I loved her writing style. She has a way of drawing you into the story. I can't wait to read the sequel "Catching fire" when it comes out in September. (I heard it's actually going to be a trilogy... is that true?) I'm also excited about getting my hands on that other series of hers " The Underland Chronicles"!!

This guy was my creative writing professor at UC. Many of these stories touch upon infidelity and the loss of a child making me wonder what's up in this guy's real life. It makes me more sympathetic to him than I was when I was in his class and found him so hard to deal with...

kinda ranty sometime, but the guy's got good points. Basically, it's not just the national politicians that are screwing the working man, but those dang local and state politicians who think they should be running stuff. Also, this really opened my eyes to some of the falicies of current gun regulation. I need to do more research on that myself, though.

I didn't agree with this 100% of the time. I do think that some discussions that involve more than two people are valuable and not just brainstorming. I do have meetings all the time, but most (!) of them are valuable in the current group I'm in. I have been in groups that suffer from exactly what this book is talking about. I'm not entirely convinced the "modern" meeting is a cure all though. I've asked a couple of people I know to also read it and give me opinions about how much of this should be applied.

All the experience I had coming into this book was the movie, which I despise, and the introduction by Burgess. The book was good, very very good. Though to answer his question on if the 21st chapter was needed, I agree with him that it was. It wrapped up the story nicely, where the movie just left me angry and wanting.

This book absolutely blew me away. Katniss is an amazing character, complex, clever, honest, humble and most importantly of all, she's relentlessly tough. I wish I had her knowledge. Through her character Collins highlights everything that the majority of Western humanity has forgotten about how we used to live. Katniss knows how to hunt, cook, find water, heal - everything that we used to know about survival. She crosses this instinctive knowledge with the fake flamboyancy of reality TV. This book had something happening all the time and is a fantastic page-turner. From the opening stages of the games where Katniss and her 'tribute' parter Peeta Mallark are introduced properly to the public, through to the games themselves. I had no idea, couldn't even guess, how the games were going to play out, and I'm willing to bet that no-one could guess at the entire plot. I didn't ever want to stop reading, to the point when I skipped desert at a meal so I could get home quicker to read... Collins has a lot to say about humanity about what we'll watch for entertainment and about the extremes of our societies and a lot of that message is actually built and explored through the events of the book and I don't want to give too much away (although if anyone wants to email me I'm more than happy to chat about it!). There is a kind of love story but no sex, and even the violence isn't too much for a book that is essentially about death. It's more about psychological constructs, about how it is both our nature and nurture that make us who we are, but also what we know and what we experience. It explores compassion, bravery, trust and need. This is just amazing, and really sets the bar for YA fiction. I have no doubt that this book will become a children's classic, and so it should. And for anyone who is looking for a way to reading YA from adult that doesn't feel hopelessly mindless, this is your in. Read it, enjoy it, love it. Everyone. Please!

“Our street was smaller than most. It had just one long row of houses on one side, and two smaller rows of equal combined length on the other, intersected by another street called Brook Street. It sloped slightly on a hill that began far up in the better section of town. It was a quiet, little street, hardly noticeable among all the other larger streets, but what distinguished it from all the others was the fact that we lived on one side, and they lived on the other. We were the Jews and they were the Christians.” Harry Bernstein’s memoir of his childhood in early nineteenth century Manchester, England is remarkable for a number of reasons. First, Bernstein penned this work when he was ninety-six. It was his first published book, although he emphasizes that he was writing nearly all his life. Next, it is gripping not only for it’s tales of hardship growing up in a poor household with an abusive alcoholic father, but for it’s examination of the relationship between the Jews and the Catholics on his block, and the effect modernization had on their interactions. This makes it an important work, because it not only allows us to take a look at historical events and their impact on the family, but it also shows us the subtle nuances of societal values, and their impact in a world that is changing. I don’t usually put spoilers in my reviews, but I think some discussion is merited here. If you don’t want to know what happens in the book, read no further, but know that I highly recommend you read “The Invisible Wall.” Harry’s family is of the Jewish faith, albeit that is strictly from his mother’s attempts to keep the household in the traditions of her ancestors. There are no relatives to help reinforce their faith, nor does their father set an example. The father’s presence is rarely felt. He works, goes to the pub to drink, and sometimes sleeps at home. He interacts with his family very little. Being poor and Jewish, the kids are subjected to every type of humiliation imaginable. In spite of their mother’s attempts, there is little for them to be proud of. So, it is not surprising that daughter Lily, feels little allegiance to her Jewish heritage. The widespread promotion of socialism during this era hold much appeal to a poor, oppressed working class – and it’s argument that religion is a cause of the oppression. As the story unfolds, Lily falls in love with a Christian boy, Arthur, and the two run off to marry against the wishes of their families. The Bernstein’s disown their daughter – sitting Shiva for her as if she were dead. Arthur’s family treats them more kindly, but in the neighborhood, tempers flare. In the afterword, Bernstein says that today interfaith marriages or more common, and he believes that is good. I assume he means that interfaith marriages allow for peoples of different faiths to break down that invisible wall, and treat each other with respect. I don’t personally agree with Bernstein’s take on this, nor his intimation that religion causes the problem. However, the memoir provides an excellent opportunity to discuss this topic further. My favorite person in the memoir was the young rabbi, who appeared to be a truly righteous person. We can ask the question: what would have happened if Lily had married the rabbi? We know from her heart condition that it would not have prevented her early death, but perhaps she would have been happier and she most certainly would have spared her family (and the neighborhood) a lot of pain. At any rate it makes for some interesting conversation.
