I have to say that the first part of this book was boring.. I was thinking the whole time that she should have ended it with the second book after the war... it would have been good to end it there with a little more on what happens afterwards but I thought that it seemed "forced" to have the 3rd book because the first part was just "everywhere" and it seemed pointless. However the last 10 chapters or so really made me rethink it and I realized why she continued. I cried a lot in the last few chapters and as much as I hate some of it, it did give a good ending and was worth the read. I just hope the movies do the books justice.... there is ALOT in these books and yes some is "blah" but I hope they really pick up and stick to the "points" that are worth something.
