August Reading

I've been waiting so long for this book to come out. If you haven't read the Hunger Games series, do it! And it's fabulous that all three are out now (that's the entire series), because you can just read them one right after another. I didn't reread Catching Fire before Mockinjay, and I found myself confused on a few happenings and characters. It's a series I will definitely reread and definitely own as soon as possible. It's the story of Katniss, a seventeen year old girl, who participates in the Hunger Games. The Capitol is the head of Panem. Panem is made up of 13 districts. The Capitol is evil and controls the districts. The Hunger Games is an annual fight to the death, among children from each district. There's your general summary.
I will say this; I did like Mockingjay a lot. When I first closed the book; I didn't love it, but after contemplation, I feel quite satisfied with how it all ended. I hope to discuss more with others who've read it. Thank you Suzanne Collins. Bring on the movie!

Amen to the movie! That's the best way to enjoy a book.

I'm so excited for the movies too! As for the book though, I was a little disappointed. It ended like I wanted, but I would have liked her to drag out the happy part a little more. Maybe they'll do that in the movie?

I second what you said! The second book is my favorite tho. I can't believe you didn't read it first. Call me anytime you want to talk about this series. I loved it and frankly I'm sick of the whole "Twilight" thing.
