Review It

 This was written by a local author.  It is a mix of  Hunger Games and The Giver but not as good as either. I just felt it was missing some character development or it was too predictable or something.  It is the first in a series.  The next one comes out this year but I'm not holding my breath or anything.

  I read this one for book group.  Overall a good story.  I just kept waiting for something big to happen, but it never did.  It was interesting to see the difference in the Japanese culture and the American culture.  I like how respectful they were. But I have a hard time understanding how committing suicide was considered honorable.

I also read this one for a book group.  Not gonna lie, it was not my favorite.  I had a hard time getting through it.  80% of it I found boring and drawn out.  There were some good parts and valuable lessons to be learned.  But I have not been able to convince my girls to read it even though it is for the youth book club.  I know they would have a harder time getting through it then I did.

Loved this book.  It was an easy read with a lot of food for thought.  I think it gives a good picture of what life would be like if Satan's plan had won.  I hear there is a sequel to this and would love to read it.
