Hey I'm reading that now too. My son read it and he's been begging me to read it. In fact, he got rid of all the other books on my nightstand and replaced them with The Hunger Games LOL
Haha, nice. It will be an easy read - target audience aside, the story itself is reasonably intriguing - it reminds me of my favorite Stephen King book, "The long walk." There's something that grabs me about a future so bleak that entertainment is found in the death of children (a common theme in both, though the hunger games is far less bleak).
Priceless that your son was so eager for you to read it that he removed all other options haha, so cute
