Mockingjay by: Suzanne Collins
Hello, all my avid fans! I’m sure you’ve been holding your breath for this post, no matter how unprecedented the book I’m reporting may be. If you’ve noticed I haven’t done a report on the first two books, nor do I have any interest to. It just so happened that I never got around to finishing this trilogy, and now that I did I might as well write a quick opinion of it to fill the void my absence left behind.
Frankly this book was not my favorite of the three. It had a good idea going for it, but it all fell apart faster than the characters did. Left and right static/secondary characters drop dead or the reader finds out that they have died, and there always seems to be a sense of panic in the context. This may be to represent how war and revolution really feels, but it did not clash well with the structure of the book. Especially when a lot of the time it focuses on Katniss’s mental state and her trying to keep it together.
The ending was short and clipped, felt very sloppily put together. Which left behind more questions than answers, and for there to be unawnsered questions in the final book of a trilogy either implies a second series, or poor writing skill. I really felt that I could have done without reading this book, but nevertheless I felt like I owed myself for finishing the series. Of course you all may have your own opinion, you may think it was brilliantly written. You are entitled to that, just as I am entitled to mine. I believe this book suits a young adult audiance and up, for there’s many elements too “grown-up” or difficult for younger audiences to understand. That is all, see you when the next report rolls around!
Angelas Ashes by: Frank McCourt
Hello followers, for I have returned with a book report. I dont usually read nonfiction, but this was for school and I suppose I was due for a change. In retrospect this book was very eye opening. Its not the usual happy ending and every one cheers type of book. Its also not exactly a tragedy either. Its a nonfiction that tells about the life of a boy named Frankie McCourt (what a coincidence) from his earlier years of remembrance up until he turns eighteen. I dont want to give it all away but his parents are from different parts of Ireland which causes strife between their family. Nevertheless they move to Ireland and start a family, thus Frankie was born. From there on out it tells the ups and the downs of the life of little McCourt. How he learns new things, how he copes with living in a low class neighborhood called the lanes, and how he becomes a man. It is such a roller coaster ride it makes you want to read it all over again. I recommend to anyone atleast 16 of age, given that there are some parts (while not explicitly detailed) that may not be appropriate for a younger audiance.
The Book Report
When Hawke woke up the next morning something warm was holding onto her. Since warmth was something beautiful she snuggled against the person next to her and opened her eyes. She tried to remember where she was, this didn’t look like her home in Kirkwall. And then the last night came back to her, and when she looked to her side she could see a sleeping Solas. Who was honest to Maker holding her in his arms. While she had enjoyed their evening together and wouldn’t mind another one like it she wasn’t entirely sure how a sober Solas would feel about that. As softly as possible she got one of her arms free and traced the pointed shell of his ear to wake him up.

Introductions:
Like every good story there must be an introduction to what you’re about to read/experience/fantasize living. Allow me to introduce you to what I like to call The Book Report. Although I prefer not to refer to my name much as it doesn’t matter I will be your host on this blog. As you scroll through the masses of reports (or just simply search using the search bar) you will find that I take time to give vague but still decent reviews of books that I have recently read, and show you where you can get digital editions of the book being reviewed (Note: They may cost money. So before clicking on the link prepare your wallet/purse.) My goal here isn’t to make it as a popular critic, just to share the great (and not so great) titles I experience and provide what I thought of them. Enjoy yourself, and if you wish for more be sure to follow so that you can recieve more of TBR’s reviews in your dashboard.
An Abundace of Katherines
(Beware of the spoilerssss)
As you can see, the first book I am going to talk about is "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green.
I bet you all have heard about John Green, the one and only who wrote "The Fault in our Stars" (the book I read in only an one hour lunch break because it was so addictive I just couldn't make myself to put it down).
This book was my cure to one of things that I like to call "a bookover". Basically I had nothing to read and just started to go bananas because of it and I thought picking up another John Green's book wouldn't hurt. Yeah, I guess I was wrong.
I felt different feelings with this one because it's not necessarily a sad story (Just Colin Singleton, a recently graduated student who feels like his prodigy days are over and thinks that will never become a genius because instead of believing in himself he believes in the statistics of a study made by some doctor and their special children (all of them prodigies). So after being dumped by the nineteenth time by a girl name Katherine he goes in a road trip with his friend Hassan. They finally stop at a small town called Gutshot (yeahhh) where they actually stay for quite some time while Colin works on his Theorem) okay, I thought this woukd come out shorter
But he made me sad. The whole of the book made me sad. And I'm not sure if I can explain why. I mean, I loved the book and the ideia of that Theorem..., ugh it was so out of this Universe I just couldn't help but smile at it but... Colin and his whole situation of becoming a failure just made me think a lot. I guess it's because I could relate to him (like not in a part of being a prodigy ofc) but in the whole failure thing. Because I just want to make a difference in this world, do something remarkable or be someone that people look up to... and that's what he wanted to do aswell. And the part where he talks about the books being the ultimate Dumpees (I guess I teared up a bit)
The book as also some comedic moments that actually work and made me really let out a laugh.
Although I really liked it, I think the end was a little too predicatble (I like being suprised okay?Okayyy) because I saw that ending coming five miles before it actually happen.
Still I loved when the actual action in the book was interrupted by the past story of Colin and sometimes one of his previous Katherines. That was not just an interesting way to tell a character's back story but a really clever way to make the reader hold on to the book like it's their own life.
