I thought the third installment was unnamed because it said The Hunger Games Book Three. But apparently, that is the title. I really hope the book is better than the lameo title.

This is the second installment of the Hunger Games trilogy. It continues the story of Katniss Everdeen after she wins the Hunger Games (sorry if that’s too much information for those who wanted to read the Hunger Games). This fast paced novel is full of twists and turns. I couldn’t put it down. And now I have to wait for the third one to come out to find out what happens. This will be a problem for me. Wikipedia says the next unnamed book won’t be released until August of 2010! I can handle eight months of waiting right? This is why I start trilogies after all the books are out.
The one problem I have with this novel and the first is the voice used. It’s told in the first person but more like she’s telling a story. We don’t have access to all of her thoughts. She uses phrases like “and then I’m going after him..” but why Katniss? Why are you going after him? It wasn’t easy for me to lose myself reading it. But after I got used to that, I really enjoyed the story.

Ok, I’m wrong again. It’s called MockingJay. I’m still not sure if that’s two words or one.
