Great build up for an unbelievable ending. Just didn't ring true. Too contrived.

This book was recommended to me by a friend who also loves Sookie Stackhouse. This series is not for me. I couldn't bring myself to care about the characters. This is also a series and you can tell that each book is going to be about a different character from this book. I just didn't care enough about them to want to read more. Sorry.

I love these books and was waiting as patiently as possible for this one to be released. It was a good story, but it is a transition book. Nothing too exciting happening and no great love scenes. I was left wanting more and soon!

Agent Maggie O'Dell and Assistant Director Cunningham believe they're responding to a threat made at Quantico. Instead they walk into a trap. Before they realize it, they've both been exposed to a killer who can strike at anyone, anytime and no one can predict who might be next...until it's too late.

Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Teddy says: "The Book Deserves The Hype"

I enjoyed this book. It was recommended to me by a 6th grade reading teacher and thought I need a mindless read. I was mistaken. Very clever plot though it is a little on the dark side.

Why we think it’s a great listen: The most celebrated performance in all of Audible’s history, The Help has nearly 2,000 5-star reviews from your fellow listeners. We hear the print book’s not bad, either. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women - mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends - view one another.
Jan says: "What a great surprise!"

I loved this book. The characters were real. We all have some one like Hilly in our life (unless you are the Hilly) and some one like Minnie, who some how manages to gain the upper hand on the bully. I couldn't wait for the the drive to and from work so I could see what all the character were up too! I can't wait for Ms. Stockett's next book!

A disturbing object is discovered in the Capitol Building. The object is an ancient invitation, meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom. And when Langdon's mentor is kidnapped, Langdon's only hope of saving him is to accept this invitation and follow wherever it leads him.

It was well worth the wait for another Dan Brown novel featuring Robert Langdon. This time he takes you into the unseen secrets of Washington, DC. I liked the twists and turns that keep you hanging. Good "read".

Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas". As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived, and famously testified that her 15-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who've long forgotten her.
