Girl in the Arena = Read

Funny enough, I finished this book well before Christmas.  I guess with everything else I've blogged about, I forgot to blog a finish post of the book.  I am rectifying that now.

In the end, I liked it.  It was something a little different.  As stated before, a dystopian society mixed in with the real world.  I've always liked the strong female character and oddly enough, they are popular: Katniss in The Hunger Games, Cassia in Matched and now Lyn.  She's a good addition to the list.

My only feedback, I was expecting the fight to the death to be sooner in the book.  It literally was like the last two chapters of the book.  As much as the back of the book hypes this match up, I was expecting almost half the book to be about it.  I think by the time the match was announced, then the training for the match and then the match itself, the plot line only took up 4 chapters of the book. That's fine, but my expectation was different. 

Other than that, I enjoyed it.  No word yet on a meeting, but I'll keep you posted to see what the other girls think.
