I have always loved this series, from the first book, The Summer I Turned Pretty. I wish the series did not end because they last book was the best one yet because all the characters have grown since the first novel. I think that when reading this novel it gives you a sense of compassion towards each character because it happens to most people in this situation, to commit to the person who you love with your whole heart. I also loved the picture on the cover because it really resembles what happened in the book. Ok with the review, In the first bit of the novel I thought Belly really fit well with Jeremiah and cared about her. Then we would read about that Jeremiah made a mistake, and their whole relationship is tested because of this mistake that he did. I really felt for Belly though out these scenes the author presented in the telling of the story. We then later learn that though this breakup (the characters are now in college) that (spoiler).. that Jeremiah cheated on Belly:( I sympathized with Belly because even if it was a breakup for that one week, you would try again to get the girl back. Jeremiah did not even call her and she thought nothing of it when she would later find out at a frat party. With a few days apart the couple were back together, and he felt so bad, and he knew that he loved her, he asked an important question (not saying:p) and this would later take us to Cousins. I love how Han, used Conrad as the other voice because it gave us how he presented his and Belly's relationship that we never knew. I really loved how his character developed through this book because it made you fall in love with him all over again. We first see him at the garden scene where he first sees Belly after 2 years, same time her and Jeremiah have been together. I really don't want to give too much away because lots of people want to read this series. So instead I will tell you that this was the best book out of the series, and I will probably read the whole series again, but I do hope Han creates more to this series or another similar to the novels. I really loved the ending to the book, and I hope all of you out there will too!! Any other recommendations.. send me an email. If I get more followers on this blog, I will do a giveaway for one of the books! Thanks ILoveBooks:)

This sci fi snob was dreading the time when I would have to read The Hunger Games. Despite the hype, the acclaim and the prizes, I was a reluctant reader. I was wrong, so very wrong and for that I apologise. I was instantaneously wrapped up in the story of Katniss (an abysmal name that equals Reneesme) from the first word through the last. The subject matter is dark, as it typical of dystopian future where everything is bleak and hopeless. Starvation and brutal violence are prevalent, as it the removal of freedom. Those that inhabit District 12 are amongst the worst of the Panem lot, with Katniss and Peeta to represent them in the Hunger Games (the Capitol’s way of punishing the formerly rebellious districts). Katniss is tough as nails, uncompromising, ragged at the edges and undoubtedly a battler. Her one soft spot is her sister, Prim, and it's this relationship that is her undoing and her strength. She needs that strength as she faces dehydration, starvation, burns, injury and stings. Her fellow competitor is the charming and surprising, Peeta (a spelling abomination). The relationship between these two is a joy to behold as they snip and snipe at one another, distrusting and yet attracting each other. It’s Peeta that brings the most humour to their dire situation and often it’s his levity that allows you to have a much needed laugh. It is also refreshing to see someone who has repressed their feelings so much, feel for someone. I liked that Katniss is the atypical female. The games itself is intriguing, helped along by the breakneck pace of the plot. The concept of the Hunger Games itself is thrilling, captivating and tense, yet it's very effective in keeping the population of the twelve districts under control. Threaten one’s children and you can have their families in the palm of your hand. The games are brutal and confronting and yet it’s here that understanding, knowledge, insight and hope are found. I had a few issues with the games despite my rampant like of the novel. The sponsor’s gifts were a little too convenient at times. We also hear Katniss thinking about her on camera reactions yet never see these cameras. The hovercrafts of death are seen and the fire shooting machinery is also discussed and yet the placement of the cameras is never once thought of. It’s almost like these camera are an omnipotent god, seeing and hearing all. Except this “god” is the eyepiece in which all the residents of Panem witness the brutal slaughter of their loved ones in the name of population control. I was very invested in the events of this novel. The themes of family, survival, sacrifice, social order, the nature of competition and media manipulation are captivating. I badly want to read the second book but I have fears. Without the presence of the games, does this story have enough steam? Will it dissolve into an overly saturated, three-sided love story or will the complexities of buckling the system be addressed to become a political thriller? My fear is that it will dissolve into a Katniss/Peeta/Gale droop fest. Let's hope that I am wrong...as I was before.
