Mockingjay was the most anticipated book of 2010. Now that it's out and read by the people who got it as soon as they possibly could they all realize why. This book made me laugh and cry my eyes out, scream at the page, and finally pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. I actually did the last one everytime I finished a chapter.
There's a lot more Gale in this book, my feelings about him remain mixed, actually i change my mind... i just don't like him. Peeta changed, I still loved him even though Mockingjay was the most anticipated book of 2010. Now that it's out and read by the people who got it as soon as they possibly could they all realize why.

There's a lot more Gale in this book, my feelings about him remain mixed, actually i change my mind... i just don't like him. Peeta changed, I still loved him even though he changed. People would think he was a sissy, couldn't manage to fight back for himself. People though he was helpless. The way he was in this book automatically proves them wrong, because he was so strong! He just chose not to hurt people really (with an exception of Cato). Katniss broke. yep, she did (not goign to say why becuase of spoilers) but she was really broken for a while, then she realized that life just goes on. She couldn't change what happened and giving up her life wouldn't change it either. So she moved on.
This book in the series had a complexity that the other didn't have. The whole book had a sort of feeling to it, that made it feel like the end, the last book, over. The whole time I was reading it it felt like I was in some sort of dream, because I've been having dreams about getting this book ever since September 3rd- the day I finished Catching Fire. Thoughts always swarmed my head. I thought way too much about this book. I knew that probably at least one of the things I thought in my head were going to happen and one fo them did, but only one. it didn't happen exactly the way I imagined it in my head but pretty close.
The death in this book. I was expecting death, ones of my favorite characters. It did happen. Just not the ones I expected. the ones I desperatly thought were going to die didn't die.
The book was amazing and before I started this review I was convinced I coulndn't manage to write a review for it. I was crying when I finished it.
What I was really expecting when i picked this book up was a war. A war with armies lined up to try and shoot each other with guns, like the ones you see glimpes of on T.V, but this war was revenge. Dirty, bloody, revenge. On everyone. Everyone is a victim during a war like that.

The last words at the end of the epilogue really got me. They brought on more tears. Now I have to feed my Hunger Games craving with fanfiction. I hope Collins makes another book series as amazing as The Hunger Games. Because The Hunger Games was a HUGE part of my teenhood. I remember all my daydreams about what the heck is going to happen in the next book and what could possibly happen in the Peeta/Katniss/Gale love triangle.
The series is actually over.
