(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/alixndottie/modernkiddo.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131YA is my very, very favorite kind of book. I love me some coming-of-age stories!
Song of Fire and Ice is the what the show “Game of Thrones” is based on. It’s FABULOUS. But if I have to wait five years for the next book to come out, I’LL kick him for you AND your mom, Andrea!
]]>Dude! If you like fantasy even a little, I think you’ll like this series. There are about a million characters, but Martin manages to make them all interesting enough to care about. I’ve been reading the series for about 8-9 years (he had a craaaaaazy 5+ year gap between books), and he still manages to introduce new interesting characters to become invested in this far along in the series.
My only regret with these books is that I got my mama hooked a few years ago. She would bug me every few months about when Dance (the last book) was coming out, and I’d have to tell her they’d pushed the publication date again. Sadly, she didn’t get to read it. I kinda wanted to kick GRR Martin when I saw him at Comic Con this year. Misplaced anger, I know!
]]>SEMI SPOILER, CHITTY CHAT ABOUT LAST BOOK!
Hey Celeste! I totally hear ya, but I have to say I didn’t get that from the ending…
I mean Peeta isn’t really wimpy—he survives the games pretty well on his own, he’s just a sensitive/sweet guy. I admit I def liked bad ass Gale better when I started reading the books. But Peeta grew on me!
What I took away from the ending was that she nearly lost everything thing…The two of them had this crazy bond and whether she realized it or not, no one would ever know what she had gone through or could relate to her except other players of the game, ya know? I can’t imagine her settling down and being a “good little wife” just because she is married. I imagine her the same as before.
My critique of the ending was that we had this HUGE build up…..three books worth of tension and drama….and then……..it’s over. I wanted more of a confrontation scene with President Snow…it sort of wrapped up really quickly. But I still loved them none-the-less!
]]>Of course you read them!!!
😉
The books are never as good as the movie (with the exception of Harry Potter….not as good as the books, but still pretty stellar in my opinion!) so you’re right. And SO much of the book is in her head, I’m curious how they’ll pull it off!
