December Read of the Month

My November Read of the Month was The Hunger Games, which I finished in a matter of days.  I thought it was a great book.  I quickly picked up the next book in the series, Catching Fire.  I finished the book in about a week.  This brings me to early December, so of course I will be reading the final book of the trilogy, Mockingjay.

Time for book number 3

Now Catching Fire was never really a "Read of the Month", but I did squeeze it in this last November.  I will take some time to write a little about the book.  Once again, I love the main character, Katniss!  Such a wonderful, strong young woman.  The first half of the novel is excellent, however I feel the second half is very "rushed".  Once again, it was a page-turner, I just feel like Suzanne Collins rushed the action as the novel proceeded.  The first novel, The Hunger Games, moved along at a pleasant pace.  Many of my friends that have read all three claim the first book is their favorite.  I will have to see how I feel after reading Mockingjay.
