I agree with your thoughts on the end of Mockingjay. It was brilliant, until that forced and awkward bit of wrap-up.

I wanted another page turner this weekend, and nothing in my reads-in-progress pile fit my mood, so I gave Carrie Ryan's The Forest of Hands and Teeth a try since it was recommended to me by the same friend who recommended The Hunger Games. It served as a page-turner with action that kept my curiosity peaked, but the story as a whole was kind of flat, the characters were annoying, and the ending pissed me right off. It did pass the time though, which is all I really wanted in the moment. It only took about five hours to read.

Now I think I'm in the mood for something a little more complex, so it's back to The Orange Eats Creeps, which I'm almost a third of the way through. I'm loving the mood, but it's definitely the kind of read that requires my complete and uninterrupted attention. I feel like I need to put it down regularly to let what I've read settle in my head just to feel like I know a little of what's going on.
