Setting Goals

Hello everyone!  My name is Laura Grove.  With this blog, I plan to write about many different types of books.  As I read a book I will research the genre and author of that book.  I will also write about what is going on in my books and what I think of it.  My goal is to cover as many different genres as I can.  The first book I am reading is called Mockingjay  by Suzanne Collins.  It is the thrid and last book of a seires.  I have read the first two book and have enjoyed them immensely.  However I am not enjoy book as much as the others.  The main character named Katniss is beginning to really annoy me.  I feel like she is too dermatic and unreasonable with her thoughts and ideas.  The genre of Mockingjay is science fiction.  Science fiction books are based on the way new imaginary technological or scientifical discoveries change the world.  In Mockingjay Katniss' world is very advanced.  They have weapons that are must more advanced than those in our world.  They have new planes and hovercrafts, and even a city underground.  Most science fiction books are set in a futuristic world.  This too is true in Mockingjay because katniss refers to American democraty as something you can only find in history book.

  1. I am glad that you enjoyed the first two books immensely, but I'm sorry that this one isn't as great. Would you say that it is worth reading the first two books and then stopping there?
