This weekend was spring break, which also brought with it the Washington D.C trip. While the trip was awesome, the reading material was less than satisfactory. Okay, I'll be straight forward: it sucked.
I spent (or rather wasted) a couple of driving hours reading Mockingjay, the final book of the Hunger Games series. Now, the book wasn't all bad, the first part was pretty good, and a few selected tidbits through out, but over all, I was not impressed. When I finished it, I literally closed the cover and said 'That was crap.'
First of all, the plot line of this book felt very rushed, like the author was trying to rush the story to an ending; this made it hard to follow what was happening to the characters.A lot of it was on Katniss as well. She changed personality way too much during this book. Either she could handle something, or she couldn't. Also, far too many good characters were killed off. One of my favorites had a few sentances of death, and then he was gone. Really? For a character like him I think he could have gone alot more ceremoniously than that.
