I read The Hunger Games today.

Great story, abysmal writing. To that end, I mean comma splices galore, at least one major faux pas of using ‘well’ instead of ‘good’ and boring word choice. Luckily, these transgressions were not so distracting as to interrupt the pace of the novel. I read the entire thing in one sitting. This is, sadly, a big step for a girl who has finished only one novel since completing her English degree nearly three years ago.

I didn’t realize there are more books until the last page, which concludes with, ‘end of book one.’ I’ll be damned. How irksome.
