Kid the Phantom Thief 252 Report post Posted June 25, 2014 I'd love a copy of that book. Where'd you get it? I've been trying to finish Mockingjay. I bought it. I don't remember the shop's name, though I had to order the book first, because they didn't have the English version. Cost me about... 160 DKK, I think? @KtPT- GOSH I LOVE THAT BOOK yet the loci method doesn't work for me @Rye- do finish it. I swear. "Matilda" by Roald Dahl for a book report. Ah! Awesome! When I've finished the book, I'll definitely try out all the methods! and master them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you buy your copy of the book, Nara? I'd love to buy it... I stopped reading when classes started. I'm halfway through the book already. I really really want to finish it~~ It's so awesome. Oh, I loved the movie. One of my classmates used that for her book report back when we were in first year. It was cool. I bought it. I don't remember the shop's name, though I had to order the book first, because they didn't have the English version. Cost me about... 160 DKK, I think? Ah! Awesome! When I've finished the book, I'll definitely try out all the methods! and master them I see. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akazora 292 Report post Posted July 2, 2014 "Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens ^This masterpiece needs an anime adaptation! Or at least a new movie, because it's better than Les Miserables in my opinion. "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery ^Teared up and I'm not sure why. I'll take my English teacher's advice and read this multiple times over the course of my life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raki 15 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 The last book I read was "The List" by Siobhan Vivian. It's was pretty good, I guess. It's about school life so it's not fantasy or action-packed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nara-chan 38 Report post Posted August 2, 2014 ^whoopsy there. Still Sophie's World. Whyyyy must you be spirits, Sophie and Alberto? What happens to Hilde and Albert Knag? WHAT HAPPENS TO SOPHIE AND ALBERTO?! Something quite off-topic (in spoilers) We have an assignment about a book that affected you. This is a hard one. Experience has been the ones that changed me. Books are there to calm me down, console me, etc. Series aren't applicable (That makes it hard. Most of the books I've read are parts of series). And worst of all: manga isn't allowed! Well, they're technically not the books we know, but still! T_T. Several stuff I'm considering are Sophie's World (because it's awesome), an A-Ba-Ka-Da book (A-Ba-Ka-Da-Filipino alphabet. Reason: It started my reading career) and a book about a girl losing her grandmother to stroke (my grandmother has cancer, so this book is pretty emotional to me, especially because my grandmother hasn't passed away yet). Ughhhh, I don't know anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rye 122 Report post Posted August 10, 2014 I finished Mockingjay yesterday and I enjoyed it. A lot. Seriously, that book has a lot of twists and surprises to offer, and it's really cool. I think that the ending hangs a bit, but I really don't have anything against what happened in the end (unlike some teenagers I was able to encounter on the web).

Eh, I dunno...Mockingjay wasn't BAD, but I honestly thought it could've been better, especially when it's the last book, and she's already shown her readers how good she can write with Hunger Games. I personally just thought it was really slow and a little boring in some parts.....I don't know...now that I think about it, there were stuff going on (like pretty big stuff) but maybe it was the way she described it or wrote it that I just found really slooowww....:/ I'm sorry for saying such things >< I usually don't, but I just thought that Mockingjay could've been a much more exciting and thrilling book and actually live up to its potential that the other two built. >_< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildheart888 170 Report post Posted August 10, 2014 i agree with you so much about Mockingjay.... it was boring at parts and i felt like it was a disappointing ending to the trilogy that started off so well with Hunger Games but then again i guess i wasnt too excited about reading Mockingjay because i thought Catching Fire was boring... i've recently read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern... it has an awesome ending, i think Haha, yeah I feel ya...like I dunno, but I think each book just got a bit boring-er.....like Catching Fire wasn't as "Wow!" as Hunger Games...and I was like "Oh, maybe Mockingjay will be better...?" But sadly, no..:< BATTLE ROYALE >>>> Hunger Games, just sayin~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nara-chan 38 Report post Posted August 11, 2014 I agree, Mockingjay was boring. I love the Hunger Games, and I loved Catching Fire even more, so I expected the seties to end with a bang, but no! It was full of military stuff that I'm not really interested in, and it was kind of hard to picture the scenes in my head. And I had to take some time to adjust to the new characters.
