Thoughts 
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Scholastic 2009, 374 pages, first in a series of 3
I was on an unexpected trip out to Western Kansas and my iPad was losing charge so I desperately needed a paperprint BOOK to read. While frantically perusing the shelves at the Midway Chicago airport, trying to recollect the authors names* that I keep saying I want to read, my eyes fell upon The HUNGER GAMES.
“YES!”
Grabbed it, plunked down a $20 bill and ran back to the gate. I started immediately. I read after being told to queue up (Southwest style). I politely smiled and only showed the cover to the gentleman attempting to converse with me, “What are you reading?” [I suppose I was rude, since I usually love to engage in such conversation and initiate many in this very same manner!] I kept reading through take-off and only later, upon hearing that beep-tone that we are are free to unhook our seatbelts, did I see others standing up to gather their overhead luggage. Oh. We had landed.
It being midnight, I was not up to reading more during the hour drive home. But I did manage a few more pages before succumbing to sleep. I was able to finish the next day.
RATING: four slices of pie. Peeta could bake me a gorgeous pie, I expect.

I figure I am one of the very few people left in the world who has not read this already and certainly many of you who are frequent visitors here know what this dystopian thriller is about. If you are not a frequent visitor here and do NOT know about this trilogy, wow! and welcome. Clicking on THIS sentence will give you the results of Fyrefly’s book blog review search for this title.
Do I have to read the next book before I can select a Team Peeta or Team Gale?!
