these beings just finished reading it, and it was every bit as good as expected... even if it ended in a cliffhanger...

The best kind of ending... Smiling

As usual! I've read the first few pages of the next book via the 'look inside' feature on Amazon and am even more intrigued...it'll have to come down in price a little yet before I buy it, mind. Undecided

I read the first book of Hunger Games then took a break from it. I have heard mixed reviews about the ending, but upon sneaking a few spoilerish-glances Whistling

I see the ending is super bleak.

This makes me want to read it even more! I'm sure it's why I've received mixed reviews; there are a lot of people in this world who don't like bleak endings.

I have finally, after 9 years of saying I would, started on the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois M. Bujold. It has been in the top 10-20 of any top-100 Sci-Fi or Sci-Fi/Fantasy book list I've seen for the past decade. I also needed a break from the typical fantasy novel and opted for Sci-Fi, since I love it so much and it has been too long since I ventured in to space. Wub

Only on book 2 so far but I'm enjoying it!

book two is too recently released for 'thul to be able to get it yet...

I don't mind bleak endings, but I still can't get more than a few pages into Mockingjay. I'll try again some day.

Speaking of starting something, I was eyeing up Lord of the Rings earlier today, thinking I would have another go at it. It's not moved from the bookcase as yet..
