Mockingjay: The Final Book of The Hunger Games Audio Book Customers Review – “Excellent End to the series” I found this to be a wonderful ending to this epic trilogy. It went on so many twists and turns that I had no idea where it would end up. I would guess what would happen next, and though I was right, the book would amp up what just happened to levels I wasn’t expecting. Publisher’s Summary Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. Still hungry? ©2010 Suzanne Collins (P)2010 Scholastic Audio What the Critics Say “At its best the trilogy channels the political passion of 1984, the memorable violence of A Clockwork Orange, the imaginative ambience of The Chronicles of Narnia and the detailed inventiveness of Harry Potter.” “Unfolding in Collins’ engaging, intelligent prose and assembled into chapters that end with didn’t-see-that-coming cliffhangers, this finale is every bit the pressure cooker of its forebears.

The Mortal Instruments City Of Bones Free Audio Book City Of Bones: Book 1 Customer Review – Not a teenage crossover This book is entertaining – I often am able to pull clever, well written young adult fiction into my adult fiction list and enjoy the hell out of them. This book was much more difficult to do so – relying heavily on sarcastic, teenage humor and relationships. If you are a teenager – you will like this book. Publisher’s Summary When 15-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder – much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons.

Roar – Katy Perry – ESL lesson plan | Anna Edu The song “Roar” perfectly fits the topic of gender roles/stereotypes, feminism. Besides, it’s a great source of idioms, set expressions and phrasal verbs. That’s how I would use it in class. 1. Tell the students that we’re going to study 7 new expressions (slides 2-4).

The Mortal Instruments City of Ashes Audio Book Customer Review – “Exciting” After I finished listening to City of Bones I couldn’t wait until book two, City of Ashes was released. To fully appreciate it, I re-listened to book one and then continued straight into book two. The first thing I noticed is the different narrator, which at first I thought would be an issue, but it wasn’t. Natalie Moore did a wonderful job and after only 15 minutes or so I forgot she was a different narrator. As the adventure continued in this book you find yourself in a world full of thrills, excitement, puzzlement, joy, sadness, love, war, and the want for more. City of Ashes Publisher’s Summary Clary Fray just wants her life to go back to normal – but that turns out to be impossible.
