Anyone read these? I've heard they can be harry potter addicting. _________________ "If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak." |

Doesn't sound too bad, I'll see if I can find a download and give them a shot.
Found the trilogy, PM me for a link, if you have a Demonoid account.
I guess if you don't have one I can set you up with one. _________________

I haven't done a lot of reading at all recently. I'm skimming through this comprehensive copy of Huck Finn I have because one of my friends was watching one of the movies a few weeks ago.
Though my younger brother's read them, he liked them, I think. |

Sorry for not including the link. Really didn't know too much about the series and hadn't thought enough about it to do a wiki search. I saw the three-back of books at Costco and Borders and thought it might be something to check out.
Thanks for the offer count, but if I get them, I'll likely get the books -- my eyes bug out if I have to read to much of the screen and if they are good and for young adults, maybe my girls will read them when they get older.
If anyone does read them, please post up some comments! _________________ "If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak." |

Costco had Hunger Games hardcover for $11 so I picked it up. The brief description inside said there was another similar series by the same author -- Gregor the Overlander. Looks like another series of books Anyone read these? _________________ "If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak." |

Finished Book 2 and Book 3 arrived on my doorstep today. I'm really enjoying these books. Good stuff. Hopefully, the movies will measure up. _________________ "If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak." |

Finished book 3. Thought it was great reading. Mrs. cfos found this the other day. The acting is sooooo riveting, that I don't think it is necessary to use spoiler tags:
