23. Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins

Final book in the Hunger Games. The revolution is under way, but it will bring about the changes for which the Districts hope? Light read.

24. Fuzzy Nation - John Scalzi *

I read "Little Fuzzy" (as well as all the other Fuzzy books) many years ago, so I was very curious to see what Scalzi would do with a "reboot". For my tastes, he knocked this one out of the park - good characterization (while not always nice characters), great humor, and a great story. The story only shares a few things in common with the original, but I think it is much better then a retelling of the same story with updated tech and modern sensibilities. As an added bonus, this audio book version was read by Wil Wheaton. And for a bonus bonus, they also included an audio version of "Little Fuzzy" (different reader though) so I'm re"reading" that one now.

I may borrow the Fuzzy Nation if I can. I have fond memories of the original.

so...i stole the first "hunger games" book from someone and it is sitting on my floor. How good is it...should I bother...? I can't quite tell from this post...though as you are on the final book it seems to have kept you interested.

It is definitely a good series and worth reading - I just couldn't buy into the premiss of the world. Lots of folks rave about the series, so it is worth checking out.
