Happy 'Mockingjay' day!

This is it! The final book in the Hunger Games trilogy was made available at midnight, and that non-noise you're hearing is millions of people reading their way through it.

I've got the book in my possession, and now I'm just waiting for a free day to read. But for those of you who want a review now, our sister paper, The Los Angeles Times, published a review yesterday, breaking the embargo.

While I refuse to read it myself, the headline does say that it is a "wrenchingly satisfying conclusion."

I'll have my own review before the end of the week, I hope! Happy reading, all.
