10 Second Review
This book contains three stories. First, Superman is mistaken for an angel while later he confronts a faith-based superhero. In the final story, the Man of Steel has a not-so-nice dream.

The religious themed stories may make some readers uncomfortable while others may be glad to see the issue addressed.

Notes
See how Superman dreams of dealing with Lex.

Learning Curve
Low: Should be ok for new readers.

10 Second Review
Katniss finds herself back at home living the easy life.
Well, not really.
She caused quite the stir in 'Hunger Games' and powerful forces conspire to make her an example.

A sequel stronger then the original book, this book has so much action and conflict you may need to rest after reading it.

The only bad thing about this novel is that the next book isn't due until 2010.

Notes
Should have wide appeal; from adults to boys to Twilight fans.
