Oh man oh man oh man oh man.
I have discovered the Holy Grail of Awesome, and it is the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy, Mockingjay. Which I finished early this morning.
I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. I want everyone who reads this book to go into it completely fresh and unsullied, with only their own biases/expectations in tow. I will only leave you with my opinions of this 390-page tome of greatness.
To help you fully understand how much I loved this book, I will say this: I had a big, big day today. I had to pack all of my things and move up to my new apartment in Logan, plus at one I had a telephone interview for a Disney College internship, which I desperately want to get. Today was a day that needed a good night's rest preceding it.
However, after acquiring the book and arriving home at 1:30 a.m., I couldn't stop reading. I literally could not stop. Until I finished it at around 6 a.m.
Needless to say, today has been a blur of zombie-packing and fake cheeriness. All because of Mockingjay.
My theory for why I could not stop reading is that Collins' writing pulls you into her sparse, horrifying world and makes you feel like you have to be there. I couldn't put the book down because it would have felt like I was abandoning a friend.
On a final note, I had a nightmare about lizards last night.
READ THIS BOOK AND THEN CALL ME SO WE CAN GEEK OUT.

Well great, now you'll fail college and spend the rest of your life as a wandering vagrant with only a few measly books and a shopping cart to hold them. Hope it was worth it.
One question Kelsen . . . Team Gale or Team Peeta?
Team Peeta, of course. There is no other team, except maybe Team Haymitch.
But not Team Gale, because Team Gale would equal Team Whiny-Pants.
I'm with Kelsen!
Also, I just finished all of the Hunger Games series and I can't stop thinking about them!
I would post about it but I've decided I can't post without spoiling the entire book series for anyone that hasn't read them so I will just say I really enjoyed these books :)
