This is not Battle Royale: The Hunger Games Trilogy, A Review
And I’ve done it.
I’ve spent a lot of time avoiding book blogs, specifically @president’s, mainly because I didn’t want to know how it ended. There’s more to the books, of course, a lot more than just the love triangle that everyone was so eager to place overzealous bets on, but that’s just it.
I’d be a liar not to say I cared more about who she ended up with than how the brutal games/uprising/revolution played out.
So.
As much as I wanted to read the rest of the trilogy right after finishing “Hunger Games”, I simply refused to spring for hard bound copies of the books. Hard bound copies are expensive, heavy and they wouldn’t go with the paperback first book I already have.
I found a way (ahem) to get copies from the vast wasteland that is known as the Internet, but I am loathe to read e-books. I hate them, they make my eyes and head hurt. By this time I’d decided I would get a Kindle, so I put off reading until this particular gadget made its way into my hands.
That was yesterday afternoon.
I started reading “Catching Fire” last night, then finished “Mockingjay” minutes ago. What I have to say won’t be particularly extraordinary, or powerful, or even helpful to those who haven’t read the book, but it’s a manner of exorcising the heavy feelings that the trilogy has imprinted on me.
Here goes then, and spoilers await.
