In Between Books

I am in between books and was talking to my mom when she mentioned that C. S. Lewis was known as a christian writer. My first reaction was to say "Nope" but then I thought this might have some validity so I went to the best source...Narnia. Skimming through The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe last night, I certainly did see how people could think this. Most obviously, the lion reminds me of Rastafarianism, the lion representing power, a symbol of H. I. M., known as Jesus. The white witch enchanting Edmund rings of Jesus' tempting in the desert. Then BOOM. Adam and Eve enter the book. By now I'm convinced and skimming on I come to more hints. The book ends with Aslan breathing life into the world after giving his life for the cause. Well, I guess C. S. Lewis was a christian writer, you just never see it as a child.

Hunger Games

The Hunger Games have been talked about for so long and the movies coming out soon so I figured I needed to keep up with the trend. And it was definately a page turner but  at the very end I felt it lacked a reaction on my part. After such a dramatic book, where you had to step into their world to understand the action and the means for doing it, I came away empty handed. Maybe the ending was too predictable, but throughout the book I never thought ahead, I stayed in the moment. Whatever pizazz the Hunger Games lacked in an ending though it made up for it in the rest of the book. Slightly chick flicky, but all in all a good idea.
