How To Use This Book List

Many of the books here are written for young adults. However, some are definitely adult books. I don't always specify in my comments; however if you are interested in a book, find it at the library. If it's in Juvenile Fiction or Young Adult Fiction, it's usually safe for kids 12-15 (be sure to preview just in case). If the book is found elsewhere, you can always ask a librarian for their input.
Personally, a few swear words don't do much for me, so I don't usually remember they are in there. Other types of content, however, are usually commented on.
Enjoy!!

p.s. Please leave a "care-to-share" (aka, comment) anytime you like.

Mockingjay

by Suzanne Collins

The third in the series, this book seems to be the most violent. In keeping true to form, characters who you just start to connect with find a way to their demise. I had to keep reading just to know what happened with Katniss, Peeta and Gale. I can't say I'm surprised at the ending, but I was (a little). I have enjoyed the entire series and would recommend it to mature young adults who are able to differentiate between real and pretend - this series pushes that ability. This book seemed a little graphic in the violence than that others (unless I just read them so fast I overlooked the gore).

Overall, I liked it!

p.s. I shelved Treasure Island. Too slow.

    I have really mixed feelings about this book. After LOVING Hunger Games and Catching Fire, I was disappointed by a LOT in this one. But I didn't hate it.
