*disturbed*

I'm reading The Hunger Games. Right before bed.

'nuff said.

PLEASE, PLEASE somebody tell me there's a somewhat happy/satisfying ending?

I hope so, because they make all the kids I work with read it in high school...

At this point, I can't decide if it would be better to stay up a couple more hours and finish the book hoping for a good ending, or just *try* to go to sleep. :dunno:

I won't give you spoilers... Are you on the last book?

No.... the first.

Now I'm scared to read the last, lol.

I ended up staying up till 2:00 to finish, glad I did.

I made the same mistake. That was a disturbing book. My 8th graders LOVE it though.

Ugh, I'm not sure I would've liked it in 8th grade. I guess it's more intersting than The Scarlet Letter, though.

Funny, I'd always heard it was really violent and gory, so I was prepared for that. But I didn't think the gore was too bad... psychologically speaking, it was VERY disturbing.

I'm starting the second one tonight.

Side note: If anyone has suggestions for HAPPY books, they're welcome!!

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is a pretty fast read, really good, and uplifting.

Thanks for the tip!

It's not on Kindle.
