Now this novel is for my English class and all the books were reading in class are non-fiction.
When I started this book I was not in the mood to read non-fiction. I wanted a fictional story with characters that I could be caught up with. So this added to the reason why I did not particularly enjoy this novel.
It’s hard to follow and it takes time to understand what he's discussing.
It’s a slave narrative and Cugoano was an Afro-british writer and wrote when there were a couple of other Afro-British writers in the time he is one of the less famous writers.
The book is filled with history and it gives you a really good picture of what the times were like. But if you’re not in the mood to read non-fiction I wouldn't suggest it because you'll just end up being lost and not understanding what Cugoano is discussing. So because of this I give it one checkmark because of the historical importance and how he wrote his arguments. And one x because like I said it’s a hard book to read and it’s not for everyone.
Read because you love it and not just for the sake of reading (This is me trying to get all philosophical :))

7. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Now I really wished I blogged right after I finished reading because then my memory would be more sharper and I could pin point different points that I really enjoyed. Sadly I didn't but I did enjoy this book immensely.
The last in the series of the Hunger Games and it was an intense ride. It kept you turning the pages and whenever an tough situation came, which happened every chapter, I really had to struggle to not let my eyes stray down and catch a word that would give away what happened.
So I do rate this novel double checkmarks.
But I am still undecided on how I feel about the ending. Partially because at first I wasn't sure if Katniss picked the right man (more like young man). But when I finished reading I agreed that she did. But the ending itself lacked something. Collins kept me interested till the end but I don't know about the ending. (wow I sound confused. But I am.)
The series was and is still amazing. My one suggestion is that when you read the series makes sure you have in your possession the whole series so you can read one right after the other. Because it is quite agonizing having to wait.
So keep on turning those pages (my creative juices are not flowing. I will come up with a good ending phrase one day…hopefully) (:
