The Hunger Games

I finished the Hunger Games: Mockingjay last night, I have to say It was an amazing book. When it started, it was interesting because of the tragic ending of the book before it, Catching Fire. But after I read about 50 pages it started to get quite boring, there wasn’t as much action in this book as the last two.

Around page 100 the book Its starts up again. You start to get really into it, constant suspense of a non stop entertaining thriller.

I have to say one of the best quotes in the book would have to be ‘’IF WE BURN YOU BURN WITH US’’.

On pages 145 and 146 you really start to see how katniss and several other characters feel about what is happening, katniss brings up what happened to rue in the hunger games and even sings the song she sung to rue as she was dying. Even though she is only about 17 or 18, katniss has really grown up in this book she has to make some very big decisions which could mean life or death.

I was heart broken near the end, so many people get killed because of the rebellion. But I was mostly interested in who katniss would pick in the end, Peeta or Gale. I was surprised with who she picked but I was relieved she did, Because if you think about it the hunger games is about the districts fight for freedom.. Its not a love story.

While I loved this book, I do have some criticism about it. I couldn’t help thinking that throughout the entire third book I wasn’t nearly as hypnotised as I was in the first two, which I literally couldn’t put down for more than 10 seconds.

I felt like the characters became a little muddled and I was left unsure exactly who Katniss was. I didn’t think it really described how katniss was feeling through the hardest and saddest of times.

I think Suzanne Collins should make Mockingjay about 150 – 200 pages longer. This should include:
all about Gale`s life in district 2.
What Haymitch, the prep team and Effie do.
What Peeta and Katness do.
What happens to the rest of Panem.

Although I thought there were parts in the book that could have been described more thornily, I thought that Mockingjay was quite breath-taking. I would recommend it to anyone who loves to really get into books, this is a great book to get into.I would recommend it to 10+ and would give it 9 out of 10 stars.
In conclusion, I feel that Suzanne Collins has crafted a realistic, hauntingly beautiful piece of 453 pages about the themes of love, war, and sacrifice.
Mockingjay is an amazing read.

My Cricket blob

This is my summer project, well sort of. My Aunt gave me the idea start a blog about giving my opinion on books I have read or am reading. I thought it was a god idea so I am going to give it a go.    

I am going to write my thoughts and opinion of the book, what rating I would give it and If I would recommend it to.

I won't tell you what happens in the books in case you want read them, but I will tel you bits that were either funny or Interesting.

Okay, now your probably wandering about the name, ''My cricket Blob''. My Aunt actually came up with it.

She said to her daughter that I was going to be a book critic, Her Daughter then said ''cricket'' instead of critic. Then the blob part, On the way out the door my Aunt shouted ''Good luck with the blob!'' or something along those lines, but I definitely heard the word blob! I'm gonna just stick with Blog anyway, blob sounds weird lol.

By that time I was fascinated with the idea of having a Blog and being able to tell you what I thought of the books I have read.

The first thing my mum said to me when we got into the car was ''Finally Pauline did her job as a god mother and gave you some guidance'' and with that I decided to write an intro to my Bloging days and here it is.

I will write about one book a week and put it up on Monday. If I can I'll do two. The first book I'll put up will be the book I'm reading now. It will be up later or tomorrow at the latest.
