Could Phillips and Brubaker create something as strong as the original? The answer: Yes! Season one ends with Holden Carver’s own personal Empire Strikes Back.…
Suzanne Collins’s Catching Fire This book is a far better book than The Hunger Games and I have no idea how that’s possible.Let me explain. I accept that I’m going to come into contact with books that are exceptional, books that are better than what I had previously read in the past, but a sequel…
