Mockingjay

After the Capitol wiped out district 12. The emotion Katniss felt most was anger. In the 3 quarter quell President Snow tried to prove that the Capitol can't be destroyed, but that decision didn't help him. After Katniss comes out of The Hunger Games alive (again) she, and the survivors of District 13 are hiding in District 13 which only the capitol knew still existed. Peeta has been taken in the control of the capitol and has been...basically brainwashed. They need to fight the capitol, but they have to go there, without being seen.

Somethings I liked about this book was that it was very exciting and you never knew what was going to happen next. Throughout the whole series you never really knew how it was going to end. I think the thing i liked the most was that you didn't really like the main character. She was definitely not a bad guy, but she wasn't great.

Something I didn't like was that it was by far the slowest paced, Hunger Games book. The Ending was also a bit disappointing. I feel like there needed to be a longer and fun ending. It sort of seemed like she had to make the book. It seemed like she was forcing herself to write instead of writing it for fun. Only at some points thought. At most parts it seemed like she was writing how she usually does.

The Hunger Games movie comes out March 23, 2012.

Ender's Game


Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is a six year old with a wild life ahead of him. The I.F. battle school w3hich trains kids for to fight against the buggers, and alien species that hass attacked them before. The battle school, only picks the smartest kids in the world to come and train. Ender is one of them. They learn everything they would normally learn at a school on Earth, but in addition they learn how to fight in zero-gravity conditions. Each student is assinged an army that they will learn and train with. And that is just the beginning of this story.

Something I like about it is how you really feel the emotions of the characters. You could tell easily that Orson Scott Card loved writing it. All the sentences flowed together perfectly. The other thing I liked is how he had the most intelligent people in the story. Most books I read that have the main characters as kids, make the children have them looking to the adults, for advice. Int this book it's kids, that are making their own decisions.

Somethings I don't like about it, was that in the beginning not a whole lot of action happened. It was more of an emotional part. It did help you know the character more, but I don't think that he needed to have so much of the story be on that. Just like I wrote in the Mockingjay post, Orson Scott Card, made the character not the mos lovable person. He did go through a lot so I understand why Ender was like that.

I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT ONE'S!
