I was going to post something today. Something informative, something funny, something even a little bit ranty, but instead I took the last few weeks to read The Hunger Games trilogy. I just finished the book last night and boy and my tired. The book hit all the right spots for me, and I’m actually emotionally drained by that ending. I have heard all the rants about the ending of the series, and I get that it was wrapped up a bit too quickly, it still had the sort of of impact that will stay with me for a long while. No other medium has done that for me like a good book does.
Reading isn’t very cool nowadays from what I can tell, yet these books do really well for some reason. I don’t know, I think people should at least try out the first book and see for themselves. I almost think that this series can turn non book readers into full time readers. Sure you can watch the movies, but you don’t get that same rush, that same emotion, or that same image of a world brought to life by Suzanne Collins. I’m not going to go all into review mode. It’s 8.5 out of 10 mockingjays for me, and that’s really all the review you get. Heh. If you want to know more of how The Hunger Games trilogy really impacted me, follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/randomwizard. I have a tendency to voice my thoughts there. Next week, some actual fun writings from me and others.
