Book Review: Mockingjay
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
A hesitant four and a half stars to Book Three in this trilogy. When I finished it, I think my residual love for Books One and Two, my love for the movie adaptations, and my affection for some gems in this book overloaded my overall opinion. Now that I’ve had some distance, I realize I don’t like it as much as the other books in this series, but not enough to lower it entirely to a four-star. Hence, 4.5.
One thing that’s worth mentioning is that when I was reading this trilogy, I breezed through books one and two. If I had to stop for some reason (eg. needing to go to work) I came back to them excited to return to the story. But with Mockingjay, I put it down several times and couldn’t get back into it. At the time, I thought it was because I was in a reading slump or something–after all, I had tried to pick up a few other books at the same time and not been able to get into them either–but in particular, I remember stopping about halfway through and just thinking “I don’t really want to finish this.” I had thought that it was because I already knew how the story ended from having watched the movies, but I also agree with other reviewers who say this was boring, and disappointing.
Oh, and spoilers for the first two books and movies, if you hadn’t figured that out already.
