The Best Laid Plans

This story has three main characters Oliver Russell, Leslie Stewart and Dana Evans. Oliver Russell is a good looking man who has everything going for him, until he is out of funds while running for governor. He meets a woman named Leslie Stewart who tries to keep his campaign going. Oliver and Leslie start a relationship and are soon to be married. Before they are married Oliver betrays Leslie and she spends her life planning to get revenge on him. Planning her revenge on Oliver has made her a successful woman with power. During the time that Leslie is setting her stage to get her revenge on Oliver, Oliver has become the President of United States. When Dana Evens is introduced into the story, I was, what does Dana have to do with this story. Dana is a real go getter and works hard to get what she want s in life. Sidney Sheldon melts her into the story quite well.

This is a great story about POWER and how far people will go to get it and how they use POWER to do what they want and to get what they want.

Catching Fire

This story takes place in a destroyed North America but now know as Panem. Pamem is made up of 13 districts, and a Capital. Every year in Panem they have this game called the Hunger Games. In these games they take a boy and a girl for each district. The kids are forced to fight to the death. The winner wins a life time of luxury. After a few months the winner is required to attend a Victory Tours w,ere the winner goes form district to district including the capital. These games are done to remind the people that they can not over power the capital.

This story is about a girl named Katness who has just defined the Capital by making not one winner but two winners of the Hunger Games. Katness feels she needs to protect many people in her life form the Capital. Her mother and sister, Gale and his family, Peeta, and Hychman; Katness mother and her sister Prim live in Katness winnings, a big house outside the town in district 12. Gale, Katness friend has been distance himself form her. There relationship is not as strong as it used to be. Peeta the second winner who lives behind Katness in his big house; confessed his love for Katness is now also pulling himself away from her also. Hychman a previous winner of the Hunger Games is always drowned in alcohol to keep himself form the real world. Katmess and Peeta try and help Hychman out as much as possible.

Catching Fire I really enjoyed this book the second book of the Hunger Games Trilogy. In this book Katness and Peeta have to probe that they are still in love so that they do not start a rebellion. Katness has more ordeals and betrayals that she will go though. I find this book just as in lighting as the first book. The author Suzanne Collins keeps the story going strong all the way to the end of the book. At the end of this book it is making you wanting more. The third book to the Trilogy will be out in August. I am looking forward to reading the last book or Suzanne Collins Trilogy.

Doomsday Conspiracy

This is a science fiction story by Sidney Sheldon. I was not sure that I would like this book because I had never read science fiction books before. Well like most of his books he is the master of words. This was a story about a guy named Robert Bellamy a US Navy Commander who was assigned to find 11 people who saw the crash of a weather balloon. Every time he finds a person they turn up dead. Robert Bellamy starts to uncover why people are dying around him and what the 11 people really saw. This book was action pack form the beginning to the end. This is one of my favorite books.

The Giver

I have to say this book was so well written. I can see why it got the  Newberry Award. This is a futuristic story about a boy named Jonas who lives in a world were everything is controlled. How they talk, were they work, what they see, and who they marry. When Jonas turns 12 he is assigned the most important job in the community, Receiver of Memory.” His teacher the Giver, open his eyes up to the world he actually lives in.

Louis Lawry does a magnificent job at writing this story. The way she describes the memories, makes you think. I have not read a book like this before. I would have to say it is in my top ten much read books. This book is not a fast past book but it holds your attention. The whole concept of this book is what makes it out standing. There is talk that in 2011 there will be a movie out on this story.

Eclipse

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was my favorite book of the saga and my favorite movie so far. This book and movie had a lot of action and was a complete story. There is a love triangle between Edward, Bella and Jacob. All the carters are in this book the humans, vampires and werewolves. In this story Bella and Edward are back together but Jacob is in love with Bella. Jacob is trying to convince Bella that he is better for her and not Edward. There is also a vampire after Bella trying to kill her. So everyone gets together to fight agents the evil coming to town. The movie follows the book very well. When I watched the movie I was so amazed at how much of the book they had in the movie. This is a stand alone book and movie. I would say that both the book and the movie are a must read and must see.

New Moon

I was not much of a fan of New Moon. It was kind of long and drawn out to me. Stephenie Meyers was very wordy in the book. In New Moon the book as well as the movie, they can not stand on there own.  Basically the story is about a girl named Bella, the love of her life Edward the Vampire leaves her and she gets a stronger relationship with a guy named Jacob (who is a werewolf). I was board through out this whole book and I did not really care for the movie either.  Bella mopes through out the whole story, because the love of her life is gone (Edward Cullen). I enjoyed the end of the book as well as the end of the movie. Maybe I am just a fan of the vampires. I feel that is book and movie is just a filler of the saga.
