#0083A Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins

Ahhh, an end to a series. I haven't done that a lot this year. I have started so many. This one was good, but wasn't as good as the first one. This series was weird. It wasn't anything what I thought it was going to be. The first book was GREAT. The second book SUCKED. It sucked because it was just a downward spiral and at one point I said outloud "What? really? AGAIN?" This one was OKAY. I mean that's all anything can be. But I didn't feel so much of the again-ness as in..."Oh, I see what Collins did there. Not really impressive. I kind of saw it coming and it could have been handled differently but whatevs"

It was kind of funny: I was reading the book at work and no one is in there except the employees and I shouted out "WHAT?! NOOO!" Of course everyone is staring at me and I came so close to throwing the book down. A particular part of the book is so sad, but it comes as a huge shock that I can't cry. My boyfriend read it a few days later and I get a text message out of the blue with "WHAT?!! NOOOOO!" And I knew exactly what/what part he was talking about without prior knowledge of him reading at that time. I'm okay with the ending. I wish this could have been a stand alone book instead of a series, but am I going to go see the movie when it comes out? Heck yes. 4 stars
