Mine is “The Interpretation of Murder” by Jed Rubenfeld. I liked the whole idea of the story.

Has anyone else been using Pulseit.com?
It's actually been pretty great.
Every week there's a relatively new release book available for reading for free from their site.
I read Let The Sky Fall a couple weeks ago and I tried to read Chantress last week, but I had too many books to read already before the deadline.
This week it's The Program by Suzanne Young.

I was on Amazon tonight just looking at things like the second Quarantine book and I came across this book. It's written by Dayna Lorentz, and it's a bit like Gone and the previously mentioned Quarantine series. It is told from the perspective of 4 different kids trapped in a giant mall after they were quarantined because of a biological bomb that went off in an air duct. I haven't read a lot of the book yet, because I only had a preview to read, so I don't know much about it yet. Have any of you read this book? Does anyone have a longer preview, as in the 10-chapter previews like the ones for the Gone series? Thanks!

Queen is my all-time favorite band. I love the scene from "Wayne's World" where they're all singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the car. :D My friend and I sing it aaaaaaallllllllllllllllllll the time.

Mockingjay / Re: my review of Mockingjay

Overall, I thought the book was pretty good. Didn't care for the ending at all though!

Prim getting killed was stupid because there was no reason for a 14 y/o with little combat medic training to be there. The front line was 4 blocks behind and medics would have been behind that.
That was the point, that there was no reason for her to there and Coin deliberately put her in harm's way by allowing her to be on the front lines.

Katness running around drugged up didn't serve any purpose to the story line.
Didn't serve any "purpose"? Katniss's state of mind is crucial to the story, since she's the protagonist, and the book is not just an action story where good guys shoot bad guys and everything turns out great. War is terrible and the experience of living through violence and having to commit it and the deaths and loss leaves people with traumas and mental scars.

The termoil she went through the entire series makes me think she wouldn't have been able to execute Snow like that anyway. Should have found him dropping dead just before she shot in his office or something.
Why? And why wouldn't she be able to execute Snow? That was the easiest but also the most pointless thing ever, since he was going to be executed anyway. She was able to do much more, to assassinate the new dictator who was in power, condemning herself to disgrace and, as she believed at the time, prison, torture or death.

This was the my favourite book in the series because the war was written so well.

When she found Snow, his little speech could have been better. The termoil she went through the entire series makes me think she wouldn't have been able to execute Snow like that anyway. Should have found him dropping dead just before she shot in his office or something.

Other Fiction / Re: Tales series/Hunger Games crossover

Sorry for the double post. However I take it that nobody here has played a Tales game in their life? Not even the most popular Tales of Symphonia?
