A Change of Mind

Let me just say that the past three weeks, I have completed a book series that I'm very proud of reading. That series was The Hunger Games trilogy. I'm very proud of reading this series and how would I say this, it literally blew my mind away both literally and visually.

Reading The Hunger Games two weeks ago, I never thought that I would fall in love with it. I've heard and seen that it was such a huge hit with other readers, both young and old, that I thought to give it a try. Well, it wasn't disappointing at all. I couldn't stop reading The Hunger Game that I would keep reading for a couple of hours and then read at night that went all the way til middle of the night around 3 am. I just couldn't put it down.

Then came Catching Fire, which I have to say is my favorite book of the three, that had a lot of things going for Katness. There is a method to stories like this and it happens in movie trilogy most of all that when you read the first book that you are riding a roller coaster and when you are on the second book you are riding it all the way up and as soon as you get to the top you are at the tip toe of the edge to go down but the down part is the final book.

And then this past week I finished Mockingjay, the final book, which is had a long storyline to follow but I thought it was still good and had some twist and turns that I didn't see coming. Like when Katness was going to shoot President Snow and then shot President Coin. I didn't think that would happen. And the ending of it all just made me feel a whole lot better for Katniss and who she ended up with: that I think she should ended up with in the first place. I just couldn't believe that mental status of her. I just felt so sorry for Katniss.

Besides just these books, the movies were just as good as the book. I love it when a book turns into a movie because I can see it visually better than what I can imagine because I might see it different than what the author had in mind. For example, the part in the book in Catching Fire when Gale was getting wiped I didn't have a problem with it even just reading the details but when I saw the scene in the film version, that made me sick to my stomach.

I can't believe after reading the first book that I got hooked on it right away. As I said last week about Never Judge A Title, that I was never interested in reading what others were reading let alone now reading a book series. I hardly read any book series but I have read the Temperance Brennan novels, but I'm only like five books behind of it all. And now, I've had a change in mind about reading book series.

Now, I'm on to my next book, this time another book series (Divergent) and hope that it's good. I hear a lot of good things about it and the film too.

Here's to the next one!!
