Katy's Reviews for January

Hunger Games: I broke down and read it because I was hearing such great reviews of it. I loved it as much as everyone else. It was light reading for me, which I always enjoy. I like the plot and think that it has very realistic probabilities if it were ever a reality. make sense??? Katniss is very cunning and I like her spunk-yet I like that she also needs maturing. It would have ruined her character if she was portrayed as an "All-Star" protagonist that doesn't have any weaknesses.

The only thing I don't like is that I have to wait until the 3rd book is published. I don't like waiting, but when it comes out, I 'll have another excuse to read the first two again.

Harry Potter #1: yes, I finally broke down and read the Harry Potter thingamajigger... Sorry for all of you who love these books...the first book is so sluggish, that I'm still reading it! It probably stems from having watched to movie and knowing a little of what's going to happen. I heard that only the first 3 books are sluggish, so I won't give up of our good friend Harry, but I think I'll have to renew this title from the library and hope that I finish it before March is over! ha ha...

I'm still very interested in "The Secret Journal of Brett Colton." I won't give up on that one either...

Comments on January and February's books by Marlene

I loved the book, "The Secret Journal of Brett Colton". It was one of the most fun and interesting "Mormon Fiction" books I've ever read. I'd recommend it to anyone.

"The White Queen" just made me sad. I can't imagine how it would be to live every day afraid for you life; afraid your parents, your brothers and sisters, or your cousins and best friends, might kill you so they can take your place. What a way to live. I used to be a little jealous of royalty, but now I wouldn't trade places with them for anything!

Was "Crossing to Safety" one of our books. Anyway, I really liked this book. If you want to think, I'd recommend that you read it. However.....it does have some profanity, so watch out.

I read "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" so I could remember what happened. The movie was a little different, but I liked it a lot. Now we are patiently waiting for the last two movies!

My next books to read are "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown and "John Adams" by David McCullough. I like this blog! Thanks, Mele
