Though i loved the first one, and was alright with the second one, the third one sorta lost me too. Justwasnt what i was expecting, therefor making me lose interest i suppose.tonya10057 wrote:The last hunger games book,I couldn't really get into it for some reason.

- Latest Review: "Call Me Tuesday" by Leigh Byrne
Unfortunately I had misread my flight information and had fallen asleep the night before my departure thinking I still had the next morning to finish the book. On waking, however, I double checked and it turned out I was late. I thought about leaving behind one of the books I had just bought to bring back to Indonesia with me in exchange, but second hand English language books did not exist on the island I was living on and I didn't feel like lugging around a 600 page book just to finish the last eight, so I left it behind, unfinished.
This question itself reminded me of a documentary I saw about ten years ago called The Stone Reader. A book that remains unfinished, barely begun in fact, later becomes something of an obsession for the filmmaker. I recommend it as a must see for any bibliophile.

Started both of them twice and can barely make it a third of the way through before I give up.

I have a lot more personal time these days so Middlesex is back on my to-read list. (The Marriage Plot, Eugenides' third novel, is also on the list.) The list is long though, so I probably won't get to it for a while.
