I regret my failure to document my reading. I have lost track of many of the wonderful books I have red since my last post. Recently, though, I have completed several books on our many camping trip. Here is a brief list.
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I enjoyed this book, yet dystopian novels are not my favorite genre because they make me too nervous. I purchased the second book, Catching Fire, in the series, only to set it down after page nine for same reason. For those who love this genre, I hope you continue to read novels by this talented storyteller.
City of Amber by Jeanne DuPrau - I enjoyed this book, despite the fact dystopian novels are not my favorite genre. It was an easy read, one that my eleven-year-old would enjoy.
Matched by Ally Condie - I especially enjoyed this dystopian novel of a world where our freedoms have been realistically taken away for what is considered "in the best interest" of it's citizens. It is a book innocent enough for my daughter to enjoy, which she did, while causing her to reflect on how luckily she is to have the freedom she enjoys.
They Never Came Back by Carolyn B. Cooney - I almost set it down, but I'm glad I did because I enjoyed the book. I found the author use the country's current financial situation by comparing crooks like Bernie Madoff and others to her fictional characters interesting.
