REVIEWS

BOOK

• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins – I really enjoyed this book. The
  movie was so-so, but the book goes much deeper into life in the
  “Districts.” The feeling of being watched while going through this
  horrible situation is striking. It also adds a whole new layer to the
  movie since some things are unexplained in the film (ex. Mocking Jays).
  I’m debating
  whether I should read the second novel before or after the film.
  (Recommended)
• Modesty
  Blaise: The Girl in the Iron Mask by Peter O’Donnell – I’d never hear of this comic strip
  series, but not because it’s not popular. It was adapted into films in
  1966, 1982, and 2003 and a series of 13 novels and short story
  collections, beginning in 1965. The strips are really well done. My
  favorite is the first story, Fiona, which highlights a small
  hospital in Africa forced to accept medicine from a drug dealer.
  Modesty is an awesome character and has rip-roaring action.
  (Recommended)*

TV

• Doctor Who “Hide”
  (Season 7, Ep. 9) – This was a so-so episode until the ending, which
  saved it for me. I’m not going to spoil it, but it’s a classic twist.
  The Doctor is still trying to figure out Clara and is no closer than
  before. (3 1/2 out of 4 stars)

• Revolution “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” (Season 2,
  Ep. 14) – We finally get a look outside of the “Monroe District” and go
  to the “Georgia Federation” to chase the nuclear device. We learn a
  shocking episode from Miles past and learn the full implications of
  what will happen if the disable the nanobots and turn the electricity
  back on. This show is getting less sucky by the week. (4 out of 5 stars)
