That's how it is." The type of people that war creates aren't people that polite society has a place for, and in that sense the end of Mockingjay is very powerful and poignant. <br /><br />I do recognize that, but I still prefer perhaps over-romantic stories like Harry Potter, etc.Ryan Langrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080552998325983982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327333371501195810.post-988801509171929632010-09-05T10:05:36.394-07:002010-09-05T10:05:36.394-07:00I was wondering what your take on Mockingjay was, ...I was wondering what your take on Mockingjay was, Ryan! I think this review helps clarify for me the types of stories you prefer and why you do.<br /><br />I enjoyed the end of Mockingjay, especially because Katniss ends up being only human and makes irrational and emotional decisions. But I think you and I just to enjoy different types of characters and plots in our works of fiction.<br /><br />Maybe this also explains why you didn't like Dollhouse? Those were definitely some flawed, grey characters.<br /><br />I wonder if Little will post her own review of Mockingjay?
