This weeks question is an interesting one...
Q: Today’s is the US’ Independence Day. Share your favorite book with a war in it, or an overthrow of the government.
A: First, I know Independence Day was yesterday, but I didn't get around to this yesterday. :-P Second, I don't think I've read many books with war or overthrown government in them.There was War Horse by Michael Morpurgo, but I felt so bad for that horse the entire time I wanted to throw my book out the window every time something happened to that poor animal. Then there's The Hunger Games, which I love, but I don't know if it's my favorite.
I don't know if this is considered either one of those novels, but I would have to go with Graceling by Kristin Cashore. Or maybe that whole series, because I love them. Katsa is usurping the rule of her uncle, King Randa by working with her friends to save people rather than kill them, which is what he thinks she was more or less born to do. Not to mention she has to save Bitterblue from King Leck and then find some way to defeat him.
What's your favorite "war" book?

I've taken "Graceling" out of the library approximately 5 times and still haven't gotten around to reading it. I don't know what keeps happening! It's like there's a magical wall between me & Katsa. Do you know who could've put it there?
ReplyDeleteI really hope I'll get there someday...
