JSON.Net Ignore Property during deserialization

Question

I have a class set up as follows:

public class Foo
{
    public string string1 { get; set; }
    public string string2 { get; set; }
    public string string3

This is a lame workaround but you could make a method to manually load the json. If it's too much data to load without an automatic deserializer just remove the nodes that you don't want. This is a lot slower though.

public static List FromJson(string input) {
    var json = JToken.Parse(input);
    json["key"].Remove();
    var foo = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject>(json.ToString());

}

This is an interesting problem I wonder if anyone has a better solution for it.
