OMG. A satisfying end to the series. Katniss is at her best, her character finally blossoms. True, it's at the expense of other characters, but still a good payoff. There were fewer plot surprises than previous books but plenty of interest nonetheless. Overall, I loved this series.

The strongest part of these books is the characterization and the way all of the characters seem so real which is why it is so disappointing when the two leaders of the opposing factions make no sense and seem to have no rationalization to their actions. Following my critique of the last book it basically seems that President Snow and President Coins sole purpose in the novels are to move the plot along by making atrocious decisions that everyone else must react to. But those actions did not coi

Why must the really good ones always break my heart?
When compared to the prior two books in the series, I have to say "Mockingjay" was somewhat of a disappointment. While the writing and style were up to par, it seemed as if the author was stretching/reaching for an end that was both realistic and satisfying. As dystopian novels are likely to provide a reader with neither, it is no surprise, I suppose, that I felt some disappointment here. Still, the book and series are worth the time if one is simply reading for pleasure.

And a fantastic close to the trilogy, I was worried going into each book that it wasn't going to live up to the hype, but they all do.
Suzanne Collins, thank you for writing a trilogy of books that is engaging and actually ends when it's supposed to! Now, please, don't go and write another book for this series! ...more

Blew me away. One of the best books I've read this year besides Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy.
