Great pacing and non-stop action. Memorable characters and quote-worthy lines. First person POV really shows Katniss to the fullest (something the movies can't completely do, though I think they hold up really well.)

I also recommend To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I attempted reading it once and I thought it too dry. I take it back. I took another chance reading it and fell in love with it. I don't know if I caught the symbolism in it. Sometimes its nice just to read a book for the story ya know? In this case it was the first court room drama I ever read without feeling like I was going to put myself to sleep. The characters are enjoyable but none so much as Scout. Least that's my opinion. So this is what I recommend and I hope you'll take a gander at em.

There has been a lot of hype concerning John Grisham. I'm not a fan of sad books but does anyone think it is worth reading?

Secondly, "Throne of Glass" by Sarah J Maas is an exceptional read. Celaena is an assassin in a death camp until she is rescued, only to compete to be the King's personal assassin. The characters are valiant and Celaena is such a kick-butt female character.
Both reviews are on my page for more information.

I found the world she created to be very interesting. It's another dystopian series.

First in the series is Alice in Zombieland, where you will be introduced to Alice Bell, after having her life turned up side down by a tragic accident that killed her family included her beloved little sister, and her misfit group of friends known as the ‘slayers’ and their heartthrob bad-ass leader Cole Holland. I thought that Alice would fall down the rabbit hole and land in a Wonderland filled with zombies. However, the Alice in Wonderland references is fairly light. Instead Showalter created a vision that is one of a kind, the common zombies of dead flesh eating brain has never really been my cup of tea but I found Showalters version enticing and original. I literally hung on every word throughout all three books!
It is definitely worth picking up and exploring Ali's story.

- I'm not really sure why, but the book Saint Iggy also popped into my head...I read it in high school so I don't really remember why I enjoyed it so much. It definitely stuck with me, though.
- Someone already mentioned a book by Laurie Halse Anderson, but check out her other works too! She has a really powerful writing style and writes a variety of different things I personally enjoyed Speak, Prom, and Fever 1793. Haven't read Twisted yet, but it is on my list!
