It didn't work for me. <br /><br />Katniss changed so much but not necessarily in a good way.

It would have been enough at any rate.<br /><br />I think that you are right about expectations though. I liked this one quite a bit, but not as much as the first book in particular. I think Katniss lost a lot of what made her so compelling in the earlier books!<br /><br />Will have to go and find Rowena's review now.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-11273593351644063952010-09-16T18:49:47.472-07:002010-09-16T18:49:47.472-07:00Nod nod.

Did you read Rowena's review?

I don't like when that happens. I can appreciate that you still enjoyed the book, though, despite the disappointment in the overall tone of the story and the ending.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-30181908594394559792010-09-14T09:03:13.809-07:002010-09-14T09:03:13.809-07:00Hils ~ It's hard to say how I would have react...Hils ~ It's hard to say how I would have reacted had I not got caught up in the hoopla. Could have been different view if say, I had read them a few years from now. <br /><br />I do very much enjoy Collins' writing, world & characters. Her directions was just different than what I was expecting. Even with the lower grade on Mockingjay, I do think they are definitely worth the read.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-51657273764157785242010-09-14T07:07:55.596-07:002010-09-14T07:07:55.596-07:00Wow, Leslie... great review.

I still want to get to know these characters, the whole worldbuilding sounds so interesting too.Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.com
