Once again I don’t quite have time for proper review and such at the moment so I’ll do a quick summary of what I’ve read this week.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Status: Read
I found Collins’ writing still to be occasionally cringe-worthy but the fascinating plot is more than enough to make up for it. The story certainly follows a formula and, as such, is slightly predictable but thoroughly enjoyable all the same. Very easy to read and very difficult to put down.
★★★★
Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett
Status: Read
Funny as always but not Pratchett’s most interesting work.
★★★
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Status: Read
Catching Fires manages to be slightly less predictable than it’s predecessor, enough so that I was never entirely sure what was coming but, equally, was never surprised when I found out. I don’t know if Collins’ writing style has improved or if I’d just adjusted to it but either was I didn’t cringe nearly as much as I did while reading The Hunger Games. Once again a quick and enjoyable read.
★★★★
