tooly asked me if f u, penguin was worth a buy. if you liked the blog, you'll like the book. pure and simple. it basically is the blog printed and binded, but with different animals, some random facts which include "raccoons have an excellent tactile sense, which is why, whenever you try to open a tightly sealed pickle jar, a raccoon tells you in a really condescending way to hand it over," and a couple of introductions. my older sister read like three pages and thought it was hilarious. i'm glad i bought it.
catching fire was amazing. characters were still rich, plot was still captivating, cliff hanger at the end was still unbearable. it's one of those books you have to read in one sitting and whenever you get interrupted (as i was. a lot.) you feel like biting off the head of whoever/whatever caused the interruption because you just don't want to put the book down. yes, the reading level is ages 12+. and yes, scholastic said the targeted audience is grades 6-8, but it was still awesome and if you read the hunger games you have to read this. i won't spoil anything cause my sister wants to read it and is being incredibly slow about it. i just should not have read it first, though, because it was hard to get my head out of that one and into another one for a while, which is why i read penguin after it.
i am about 35 pages into devil in the details which seems like itll probably end up being good.
