re: Hunger Games... Mockingjay book.

Quoting Thisperyears:" Mockingjay won't make sense if you don't read the first two. And honestly Handmaid's Tale is an amazing book. I'd recommend that one to read."

Probably should have mentioned that I read the first two, right?  

My Birthday is in a few days... so I wanted to treat myself to a night of quiet time while reading something that isn't the bedtime book I read the kids.
But none of my friends have ever read Handmaid's Tale, so I couldn't get any type of review on it. I'm thankful for you stumbling into my thread.. because now I'm stoked to read it.

I haven't read it but I have it on my kindle and I've heard nothing but good things about it.

That sounds much better than the second book.

it went from a series about survival and uprising to a damn soap.

It was an assigned book my senior year of high school and it was one of those books I couldn't put down, and the fact I enjoyed reading it even though I was forced to for school says something about the quality of it

Check it out! It's a really high rated classic book   I'm sure it's a better read than the mockingjay book

You guys suck at helping.  
I'll give the Mockingjay a try. My hopes aren't sky high so we'll see how it goes (JMO based on how the second book went).

But I'm excited to get into Handmaid's Tale.

no, but you can delete that pile of smurf and pray you get your time back.

I'm still looking for that month I tried to get through the first chapter. Holy mother of all that is good, Stephany Meyers needs to crawl in a cave and never write again!.....EVER!

I kind of want to buy it now except my kindle killed itself  

Another amazing book if you're in the market for another one is Geek Love by Katherine Dunn. It's one of those books that's not horror but it makes you squirm.

Sounds like it must be worth while. I understand what you're saying... there was just one book I had to read for high school that really grabbed my attention. I mean, we read others of course. lol
