I have never been much of a book reader, in fact, I usually get bored after the first chapter (even with Tebow's book). I used to take long flights back and forth from Florida to Hawaii, and tried everything to read while on those flights, but I just couldn't. No book has made that great of an impact on me in order for me to stop everything to stare at all those pages.
However, I think I've found one! My boyfriend stopped at Barnes & Noble right before Christmas, said there was a book he needed to have; I, of course, didn't understand the need for it, but he picked up a book called, 'The Hunger Games' - maybe you've heard of it?
The new Twilight? Minus the vamps of course.
He read the book in a couple of days, and then requested the second book of the series for Christmas so naturally I got it for him. That was finished within in a short amount of time as well.
Mesmerizing how quickly one can read through a book. Whew!
Needless to say he has read all three of them and loved them!
I wanted to know what all the hype was about so I have started reading the first book of three. It's taking me a lot longer than it took him because of my hectic schedule, but I'm getting there.. chapter 3 right now.. don't laugh, I said I'm trying! I'm starting to see the previews for the movie now and I'm getting so excited. I really want to finish this book before I go see the movie. I want to compare them! I never did that with the Twilight series; I enjoyed being shocked during each movie!
Have you read this book or maybe the whole series?
What are your thoughts on this new phenomenon?
