Hunger games

Finished reading the first Hunger Games novel (written by Suzanne Collins). It was addictive, literally. Read it in less than a day. It's sort of a Lord of the Flies meets Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (competition-wise, anyway). Easy read and an interesting commentary on government, and how it can turn murder to sport given the right sort of persuasive tactics. It made me think of early Christians and their public maulings by lions and vicious animals. That type of sacrifice with a pure lack of bitterness could only happen with the Holy Spirit present.
