The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold
Written very nicely but super-weak plot. The first sentence grabs you but after that it completely falls apart and ends with you feeling incomplete.

The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxset by Suzanne Collins
4.0
I read the whole trilogy in a day - a quick easy read. In no ways a masterpiece but a compelling original story that kept me hooked from start to finish. Please read the books before watching the movies! They cheesed up the movies and you'll appreciate the books so much more!
How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life by Kaavya Viswanathan
3.0
Plagiarism scandal aside, it's not written very well. I had to keep re-reading sentences because they were formatted so awfully! But I did think it was a clever entertaining premise and wanted badly to find out how it ended so it kept me hooked. If you're a stickler for grammar or sentence structure - this book will drive you nuts!
Ya-Yas in Bloom by Rebecca Wells
3.0
Jumps around too much, doesn't focus on main characters enough. Very choppy.
Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
3.0
A little wacky but it kept me wanting to read more. I don't know if these stories are true or not but if they are - I can't imagine why anyone would want to make a life like this so public! Yikes!
