Story4.5 out of 5 stars 43,680
Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

What did you like best about Fifty Shades of Grey? What did you like least?
It was something different and light entertainment but a little repetitive.
Has Fifty Shades of Grey turned you off from other books in this genre?
Not really
Did Becca Battoe do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
She was quite good but perhaps a male voice for Christian would have been better
Any additional comments?
It was entertaining enough - a bit of a laugh - nudge, nudge, wink, wink

Story4 out of 5 stars 248
Though she has shunned the media spotlight, Academy Award-winning actress Tatum O'Neal at last goes on the record to tell her story - a tale of personal turmoil and ultimate triumph that is part Hollywood tell-all, part Greek tragedy, and part Shakespearean drama.
