I have finished reading Until Angels Close My Eyes by Lurlene McDaniel and at the moment I'm reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
Until Angels Close My Eyes
If I were Lurlene McDaniel I would have made the story a little happier. I would have have done a couple of things different. First, I would have had Eli come back to talk to his father, or atleast send a letter to his family. Second I would have had Ethan stay with Leah or atleast have Leah's step-dad, Neil, live and recover from his cancer.
The intended audience is for young adult girls. However, this book was so good that even guys would like it. The main character being a girl is more appealing to the female side. Also, the romance is more girly and femine.
The Hunger Games
I wonder what kind of sick mind would think of this. The idea to send kids to fight to the death for the amusement of others and as punishment is so hedious and disgusting. How could someone even think of making kids do that, even if it is just a book. I wonder how she came up with that idea. What ispired her to do write this book. I wonder if this book is a warning to society about how our world could turn out.
If I were Katniss I dont think I could go through all the things she did. There are so many hardships she had to endure. First the loss of her father and then almost starving to death. Then constantly risking her life so she can provide for her family and herself. That all would just overwhelm me. Then to have my sisters name called to be enter in this game would be horrible. Then to go through the whole game and pretend I am in love with someone I barely know and feeling that I am in love with someone else is just horrible. I just dont think I could handle it all.
The intended audience is for young adults and teens. However anybody could read this book. It is filled with adventure and mystery. You will get pulled in immediatly. Once you start you are not going to want to put it down. This is a great book and you should really read it.
