Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3) in Crazy Challenge Connection

Aug 23, 2011 Megzy rated it it was ok

As an adult reader, 3.5 stars.

I was entranced by “The Hunger Games”. Unfortunately, I don't believe this trilogy is an appropriate reading for 5th grade level as the publisher states. The level of violence is extraordinarily high and extremely graphic. ...more

Although I felt like she rushed the ending, it was still an amazing ending to the hunger games. I didn't really expect Katniss to turn out like that in the end. It does make sense that she did though. Especially after all that she's been through. But, I did expect her to choose the right guy when it was all over, which she did. I'm not looking forward to this one becoming a movie. There is so many scenes that would be even more heartbreaking on film than they already are. Overall, a good ending ...more

What an intense trilogy. I'm a bit surprised at the ending chosen, but the journey there was very thought provoking. It is definitely a story that will stay with you. Katniss was given a lousy hand and played it out the best she could. For someone who really just wanted to be left alone to take care of her family, she was thrust into circumstances that made that impossible. You may or may not like Katniss, but you have to admire her overwhelming need to protect those she loved or felt responsibl ...more
