good read

Have you read "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins? I did. It's the first of a trilogy. Can't imagine the story is for young adults, though. Its premise is kind of brutal. But, it's interesting because a girl, Katniss Everdeen is the heroine. She's no damsel in distress, but yet, still vulnerable. For goodness sake, she was supposed to be just 16!

The story was engaging, and one can't help but feel and root for Katniss. She's one lucky girl, because she survived. But, of course, there were people who helped her along the way. Her brief relationship with Rue, had me crying buckets.

Can't wait for the movie!
