Finished The Hunger Games after one week and I have to say that it is a great book! Any free time I had in the army, (mostly during the many times where we wait for nothing) I spent reading the book. Quite a few people were reading the book too heh although they had the different cover of the book. I like the way the author builds up on the characters and the elaboration that is put in. Perhaps one of the reasons why it is interesting is that the fact that you know that everyone is going to die at the end of the book which is quite sad. When Rue dies, it was quite a sad moment considering the relationship she had with the main character. Going to start on the second book soon and I hope it is longer than the first heh.
I come to realise that there's one thing I hate about NS, that is the ranking system. Often we are asked to rank people from the best to the worst. Ranking the best people is easy and I support this as it edifies them but it gets harder and harder when you end up deciding who is the last. It is a painful process and I don't really like having to be asked to do so.
One more week to POP! Next week around this time I will be marching around ECP, eagerly anticipating when we get to see the floating platform which signifies that we finally made it.
