Ive read those already, and they are fantastic!
I gave the first book: 5 stars
Catching Fire: 5 stars
Mockingjay:2 stars.

I hated Mockingjay. ITs a let down, and becasue of that its not my favorite trilogy. The best trilogy is Chaos Walking by Patrick Ness.
I definitely recommend them: The Knife of Never Letting Go

This is my review, explaining why i hage the book so much: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

The hunger games is better then the knife of never letting go
Catching fire is worse then the ask and the answer
Mocking jay is worse then monsters of men.

Kat (katashtrophes) SPOILER, DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISH MOCKINGJAY.

I liked the Mockingjay. There were some scenes that are just ... disappointing (Finnick's death, the epilogue, etc), but Collins managed to show some great parts as well. I do agree with most of Jessica's review though (the lack of Annie and Johanna, etc), and I think that Collins could end the trilogy a little better than that. I don't know. It seems like she was rushing it to end or something.

The Book Thief is AMAZING!
Its strongly recommended. It is also on our group read selection list (And has a good chance at winning, as ive seen plenty of votes), so you could read it for our group read, if you want :)

message 968: by AnQi (new)

AnQi (anqiyu) | 57 comments I'm currently reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver. This book is amazing! It comes out February 1st, about a week from now- if you like books like the Hunger Games, this will certainly have some appeal!

Next I'll be reading Nightshade and then Wither, A World Without Heroes, and The Thirteen Curses. I'm so excited!

It was really good. At first I worried about reading it because I tried reading Revolution and disliked it, but A Nothern Light was better than I thought it would be.


message 970: by Diana (new)

Diana Today I started reading The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux.


message 971: by Baxter (new)

Baxter (julietrocksmysocks) | 383 comments I'm still reading Infinite Jest....Actually I'm only about 150 pages in. It's massive and brilliant, but so complex that long reading sessions are haaard.

On the side I checked out another Thomas Ligotti collection. 'The Frolic' made me lose some sleep, won't lie.

Me too! I just finished it today, and I'm so glad it has a sequel! Although it seems a bit similar to The Hunger Games, the concept of deliria is so original and satisfying! Can't wait!!!!

Frank I am reading The Hunger Games at the moment. I am almost at 100 pages!

I am about 100 pages in right now. So far I like the characters, unique post-apocalyptic setting, and the strange relationships with some of the characters. I will post a full review when I am done with the book. I'll shoot you a friend request so you can be notified.

Laura Newcombe (laurakbooks) | 74 comments At the moment, I'm reading The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff.
So far, it's not what I anticipated it to be but I'm not very deep into the book yet, so as I continue I might be pleasantly surprised - hopefully (:

Yeah, I like it! It's interesting, but I'm not sure I believe it or not :P But if anything ever happens I willl be prepared!

Where is the Emerald City ComiCon?
I was going to go to the San Diego one to meet Ryan Renolds, but the tickets were sold out :/


message 995: by [deleted user] (new)

@Natalie: Well, it is a work of fiction... for now.

ECCC is in Seattle.


message 996: by cindy (last edited Jan 26, 2011 11:10PM) (new)

cindy (cinlin) The Hunger Games are must-reads. I can't even count the number of timea I've re-read them...

@Natalie I didn't really liked Matched that much. I'm probably the only one that feels that way...? Maybe I expected too much.

@Jessica How do you like City of Ashes? OK, if Alex Pettyfer plays Jace in The Mortal Instruments movies, I will be a very happy girl. The series was good, although I read them forever and a lifetime ago. Well, if Alex plays Peeta in HG, I will probably die of happiness.

And... I just finished Cynthia Hand's Unearthly, which was almost a 5-star. It's in a completely different caliber than other YA angle books, which were mostly let-downs, especially Halo (pretty cover, horrible book...)

★ Jess  | 4295 comments Mod
Cinnamon, I am enjoying City of Ashes. I'd give it 3 stars so far.
However, if Alex Pettyfer is cast as Jace I will be very unhappy, and if he is cast as Peeta I will cry. From sadness.


message 998: by cindy (new)

cindy (cinlin) I see that there are also Alex Pettyfer haters in the world:). Why do you dislike him?
