Every summer, my husband and I drive to my home province of Newfoundland to see my family. Normally, I make the most of this time for pleasure reads. Sadly, this visit I read only four books for fun. Too stressed on the drive and too busy with my family during our actual vacation time.<br /><br />As for Hunger Games, I loved the first, felt okay about the second, and hated the third. From what I read, reactions were pretty mixed on the last.

It is worth it. As with many trilogies, some of the story inevitably becomes a means to an end, just trying to get all of the characters into position. Until I read the third book, I didn't really appreciate the intention of the second. It's still the weakest of the three but the third book handles issues better than most other novels written for adults so, to find such honesty in a young adult novel? Well, it's remarkable.Satiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227625739706115993noreply@blogger.com
