Book Nerds Across America

"My favorite book....at first it was Catching Fire -- until I read Mockingjay. The Hunger Games was amazing because it brought you into the world and made you fall in love with the characters. As soon as I finished it, I picked up Catching Fire -- which I read in one day. By Catching Fire, you are engaged with the characters and the upcoming revolution....you turn the pages almost feverishly because you want to know how it all unfolds.

Mockingjay takes it all to a whole new level. The same suspense as Catching Fire. The same great depiction of the world as Hunger Games. Same great writing as both novels. But Mockingjay makes you THINK HARD. I read Hunger Games -- I loved it right away. Catching Fire -- I loved right away. Mockingjay....at the end I was a little...dissatisfied. Because I had to take time to reflect and let it sink in. I had to have hours of conservation with friends, old and new. I had to re-read it. I've laid awake at night thinking about Mockingjay. I've spent many waking hours thinking about and talking about Mockingjay. I cannot put into words how great a novel it is. It is REAL. It is HEARTBREAKING. It is POWERFUL. IT IS EPIC.

By far, Mockingjay is my favorite."
