I have been waiting for so long, I can't believe that "Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins is really in my hands. The last book in the "Hunger Games" trilogy has caused great excitement. There were many people I know that had already read the book, while I was still waiting for my copy to come in the mail.
I have been very glad that no one has spilled the beans about the contents of the novel. I also hope that I won't be disappointed with the ending. For example, I really liked Harry Potter 7 "The Deathly Hallows", but I hated the epilogue! This is always the problem when you wait anxiously for the ending of a series. Do we as readers raise our expectations too high? Maybe, we shouldn't expect as much from authors to write the best book of the series at the very end? I know I loved "Hunger Games" the first book in the trilogy SO much; it is on my Top 10 list of favorite books. It is exciting as I anticipate reading "Mockingjay" and hoping that Suzanne Collins comes through for me!
Shiela, I'm using Mockingjay as my motivation to exercise. For every mile I walk, or 15 minutes of other good exercise, I get to read one chapter. So far, I've been good, but I am SO tempted to cheat! It's that good.
ReplyDeleteSean picked it up Tues. at noon and finished it that night. I started Wed. and stayed up late Wed. and Fri. and finished it Fri. night. We both loved it. Not sure which is my favorite. Probably the first.
