I don't think I've ever hurled a book across the room in disgust at the ending before, but you, The Hunger Games, have made me do it.

Admittedly, pretty much all the way through I couldn't decide if I actually liked it or not. It's very compellingly written, which is what made me keep reading, but most (practically all) of the characters need a bloody good slap and I never really felt I was enjoying it. Certainly not like The Mortal Instruments books, where I wanted to take up permanent residence in that universe and couldn't wait to read the rest. Really don't know if I can be arsed to read the rest of the trilogy here. Meh.

Anybody read the rest? Are they worth sticking with?

I love The Mortal Instruments with a slightly unhinged passion. I read the whole of the first book in one sitting. So - yeah, I would recommend them. I know not everyone likes them so much - but then I also know there's a lot of people equally nutty about THG so - depends on what you like I guess! #nothelpful

haha, I keep thinking about giving them a shot 'cause they do intrigue me...maybe I'll give 'em a go this summer.

haha, nah, that was helpful.
