I mean, yes, there were a few things about Mockingjay I would have done differently, but its still a great finish to the series. I went into the series at first not expecting much (I always feel that way with a new "you've got to read this or you'll die" book craze) and was pleasantly surprised, though I didn't feel they were the best written books by far. So, I guess Mockingjay didn't disappoint me too much because I enjoyed them for a good read and a change of pace. Just like the first two books, some of the things that happened really were not what I expected, and some were predictable. The biggest complaint I've heard is the pacing of the story, that it either moves to face or two slow at beginning or end. I did feel it might have wrapped up things a little too quickly at the end for my taste, but I think this is simply a sign of a good writer than just needs more practice writing, pacing is a tough thing to master.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154807178850136731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818272930209612143.post-42083106678397453972011-01-06T18:33:21.698-08:002011-01-06T18:33:21.698-08:00Dan asked me to get Mockingjay from the Library fo...Dan asked me to get Mockingjay from the Library for him and there were 18 people on the waiting list...
