i am one of those readers
i read YA (young adult) fiction.
but the times says i am not the only one.
it makes me feel better.
i anticipated it publication date.
august 24th.
it was in my queue at the library in may.
i was #64.
my copy came september 6th.
it took me three days.
i tried to not disappear from my family.
i only read after the kids were in bed.
i still ate dinner with my husband.
i tried.
but it was hard.
mockingjay.
suzanne collins.
conclusion of the hunger games triology.
it was actually debated at our community group dinner the other night but had to make the "spoiler alert" announcement. there were four of us who had read it and two in the middle. (see, i am NOT the only one)
it is a captivating triology.
not for the light-hearted.
but character driven, fast-moving plot, diostopic thriller of sorts with a love triangle and lots of war. it is a rebellion we are in the middle of when the book opens. brutality was more severe in this one but i was satisfied with the ending.....my friends were not. i thought it came to a reasonable conclusion. war changes people and the pretty bow, happy-ending is not to be found here....it is being debated. a good books can make for good conversations.....this one does that, for sure. i am sad it is over, but glad the rebellion and war has ceased. i am not sure how much more i really could have taken. in that sense, the fact that it was YA tempers the brutality only slightly. but katniss is still a hero who struggles to find out who the good guys really are....and what is real.
so, worth my time!
