All I do over Christmas break is read, read, and read some more while devouring as much chocolate as one stomach can hold. Two books, one day. We're off to a good start.
Similarly to The Hunger Games I don't have a whole lot to say about this book mainly because it's too good to spoil for anyone. I didn't like it as much as its predecessor but it was still up there in the books that I've read recently. I found it more dark and depressing and draining to read in my 3 hour sitting. It was hard to focus on and made me feel really alone in the world which doesn't happen to much when I read. Normally books make me feel loved unless they betray me and the weird thing is this one didn't leave me with that sour taste of betrayal in my mouth that I thought it would. Like the majority of books that you read it was very predicable. I mean really, how are you going to keep reader when you publish something radical. People find it hard to follow and don't like going outside their comfort zones.
Very little of what I've said has anything to do with the book but that's alright for tonight. I give this book a 5.5 islands out of 10. I guess there's just something about the number five today. Anyways, I hear the next book resolves the series from my friends who keep raving about them so don't let whatever I said deter you from reading this book. It's good, just not great. If you start the series finish it otherwise there's no point in starting it in the first place.
