"The Odds Are Never In our Favor" 

I recently saw the movie MockingJay Part 1 and i thought it was a piece of art. So i thought to myself, Why not read the book? I've read Hunger Games and Catching Fire, but i decided that i wasn't going to read the third. This was because of the responses i heard about the book from my friends. They said "Don't read the book" and " It's sooo boring". But I read it anyway.

I regret it...

The book (in my opinion) just drags on, and has very minimal dialogue. There are pages and pages of description which gets tiring very fast. Now I'm not saying the book is a bad one, all I'm saying is that the book is tiring to read. I feel like the series has gone downhill. Hunger Games was exciting and grew curiosity. Then Catching Fire came out. It seemed a bit repetitive with another game. And i felt that it moved a bit slower. And MockingJay had a pace that I didn't enjoy. But if we were to put that aside and just focus on the story, then this book is great. The story has a lot of unexpected parts, and the ending was a shocker!

"There Will Be Blood"

"There Will Be Blood"

     I am going to do another post about the Blood of Olympus because I just wanted to share some other info regarding this book.

     I started reading this book on Saturday last week and finished it on Friday.  I'd say this was the fastest I've ever read a 500 page book. There were 2 main reasons for this:
1) This book was a fantastic read and it a bit poignant during the last 100 pages because...

 * SPOILER ALERT* Leo dies. He was one of my favorite characters during the course of book and I just didn't want him to die. But I guess it was alright because he didn't actually die.*

2) My Friend got this book on the Wednesday before the Saturday I got it and he said that we are going to have a race. A race on who can finish the book before the other. It wasn't really fair because by the time I got the book, he was already on 250. I started to read for an hour or an an hour and a half, everyday. Just sitting on the couch, with all electronics away, so I don't get distracted. By Wednesday, the both of us were on 300! I couldn't believe I caught up. He thought I was lying so he asked he around 10 questions, and after I got them all right, I thought Now... It's WAR!

BLAH BLAH, I'll jump to the part I WON! On Friday, I finished the book at exactly 7:02 pm. And I texted him that. He replies, "We never shook on it." And a couple of other excuses like, "My dad made me do SAT practice everyday so I didn't get time to read." Buuuttttt, I don't care, because I WON!
