Yep . . . Hated It

Trite, unimaginative, predictable . . . those are the words I would use to describe Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. So sad too. The first in the series, the Hunger Games, was fun, inventive and well worth reading (see here). This one, continued the downhill slide of the series since that first one.


I don't know if I can put my finger on one specific thing, I just didn't like it. I thought it was completely and utterly predictable and that by itself seems to have been enough to kill my enthusiasm for the series. The second in the series, Catching Fire (see here), wasn't as good as the first but still offered some potential for Miss Collins to "pull it out," sadly, she failed.

Nuff said I say.
