Wow, who knew a book about death would be so interesting to me? Although, the book is not directly about death, the story continues to revolve around the death of a girl and her story. As her tale unfolds, I find more and more twists and turns. I keep having unexpected things happen that keep me up late at night to keep reading.

I'm getting really into this book. I constantly want to keep reading. The story is taking ridiculous twists and turns everyone. I really like the perspective this is coming from too. It has some really sad moments though that I wish I didn't have to read. The writing is really great in keeping me interested.

I've had to take a break from this book because of reading a food book. So I re-read the beginning to refresh. And I'm still sketchy about the the overall topic. But it is very interesting with certain things going on I can relate to. It is perfectly written for my age. I can easily understand the writing style. I think I'm going to enjoy this book.

I am starting to finally enjoy this book. It's very informative on what I am actually eating when I eat fast food. It has definitely changed my view on certain foods the fast foods the restuarants sell. For example, fries may taste delicious, but you should really think about what it is actually made of before you scarf it down.

I began skimming the book over the course of spring break. This has helped a lot because I got past most of the boring information I felt like I didn't care much about. Now I feel like I am finally getting a "taste" of the real interesting stuff about fast food. This book definitely started slow for me, but it's getting there.. The writing is also beginning to be easier for me to understand and relate to.

Well, the book is slowly progressing. I'm not as interested as I thought I'd be.. I also expected to be grossed out right away but I'm not. I think I will starts skimming parts in the book now though. It's going into detail about stuff that really isn't that important to me when it comes to fast food... Like backgrounds and origins.

I chose this book because it's about an interesting topic in food, fast food. Fast food is something just about every person in America has something to say about. I really want the details on what's so terrible and good about it all. I currently have this book downloaded onto my iPhone.

I chose this book to read because I've heard from multiple people that it's a really interesting book. So far I'm confused though.. I'm also a little scared after reading the cover page and first few pages. I'm not sure how to feel just yet because it involves a sketchy topic... Death.

I'm finally getting to the intense parts in the plot. I find myself skimming not because I'm not enjoying it, but because I'm so anxious to see what's going to happen next. The characters and feelings are really grabbing my attention. And I'm also liking how this author plays out the story.

This book is slowly progressing. I'm meeting new characters. But I still don't know exactly how I feel about it quite yet. I haven't been skimming parts yet, but I might start because I want to get to parts where it's a little more exciting.

The first chapter was kinda confusing because it jumps right in. I was recommended by my sister to read it. It sounds like a really intense book. I'm excited to see what it's all about.

Overall, this book had it's relative moments to The Hunger Games. But they are two completely different books in character and plot. The personalities of characters and meaning behind the story were very different. They both had survival feeling to them though. I enjoyed the book in some aspects, but it just doesn't compare to The Hunger Games.

I'm finding myself skimming this book more than actually reading everything word for word. It's definitely not as appealing to me as the hunger games was. Not many new things are similar to the hunger games in this story. The other elements I mentioned before are kind of becoming clearer, character/relationship-wise. But since I'm not finding great interest in it, I get somewhat confused in the plot, sometimes.

The main character in this book is kind of reminding me of Katniss in some ways. She is also very different from her in a lot of other ways. I'm also recognizing similar relationship between people like that of Katniss and Gale or Katniss and Peeta. This book is slowly getting somewhat good, but it definitely does not compare to how The Hunger Games immediately grabbed my attention.

This book is similar to The Hunger Games in the sense that it is very futuristic and definitely post-apocolyptic. The main character also has different features. There's no main government that really have a lot of control like in The Hunger Games because the land has just been invaded. This character needs to continue surviving by fending for herself in a dangerous world.

Rue's death was definitely the most tragic death in the games. Rue reminds me so much of Prim... However, in a turn of events, Peeta and Katniss have finally found each other. And it is finally announced two tributes can win! Rereading this part only reminds more of what is to come at the end of the games...

Katniss finally meets Rue. This relationship is one of my favorites. I enjoyed rereading Katniss's confusion in her relationship with Peeta. First she thinks he's out to get her... He is with the Careers, after all. But then he saves her? Puts a lot of things into perspective as The Games continue on...

This part of the book is where things are beginning to get exciting. I enjoy how the writing keeps me interested by throwing in twists and turns like making Katniss "The girl on fire". I also love the part when the tributes get to "show off" their talents to be judged. I like how Haymitch is slowly growing a relationship with Peeta and Katniss. It makes me look forward to how he will mentor once they're in the games.

I have read this book before, and I really enjoyed it the first time. I like reliving the beginning in which Gale and Katniss have such a close relationship because I only remember their later relationship. I also like seeing the different details I missed the first time like some of the dialogue. Re-reading the reaping also excited me.

This book is finally getting a bit more exciting. I had to start skimming a few chapters in order for it to really get interesting. But the story is taking some weird turns. I'm realizing things that connect to the first book. I hope it continues to stay this amusing.

This book is very slowly getting better. Compared to the first book though, it really has not been that great. I like being intorduced to this new character. It gives me hope that the story will progress and more people can be saved. I hope the rest of this book is able to hold my attention.

So far the book isn't getting my attention as much a I'd hoped. I enjoy how it's relating back to the first book though, I Am Number Four. It's interesting how the point of view changes. And I hope this book continues to answer many of my questions from the previous book.

I've been really enjoying the last few chapters I've read. I'm starting to get a real sense of what the author is conveying. There's more to women and their rights then we see. We, as women, need to start taking charge and use the voice we haven't always been granted.

I love this author's style of writing. She really knows how to keep a reader's attention. This book continues to surprise me with how much I can relate to it. My view on women's rights are becoming even more interesting as I read.

Even though I haven't read much of the book, it's really starting out great. I enjoy reading about the topic of women-enpowerment. I thought this book was going to be strictly a "How-to", but it has much more meaning.
