Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
For the last time, at least with this trilogy, I almost didn’t read this book because everyone was reading it. New York Times best sellers most often don’t make my cut. The dystopian world featured in the first and second book finds itself under attack by a mythical adversary and a Hunger Games Victor rallying cry.
Once again I must point out that as good as the plot may be, the characterizations are what make this trilogy so compelling. It also has such a wide appea ...more

First off, I'd like to say Mockingjay had so much potential. I had been looking forward to it for, not too long (I started the series a little late) but I still was spending all my time thinking about the upcoming events.

I've read this book twice. The second time was a few days ago, so it's still fresh in my mind.
The first time I read it, I HATED it. Once I was done, I literally threw it down in disgust. The normally strong and independent Katniss had been turned into a weak, lovesick person.

1. The Hunger Games - 5 stars
2. Mockingjay - 2.5 stars
3. Catching Fire - 2 stars
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, KANTKISS NEVERCLEAN. YOU SHOULD BE DEAD...SINCE THE END OF THE HUNGER GAMES.
Let's just say that I wasn't happy with the ending, (view spoiler), and the epilogue. Over all, the book was "MEH". I liked it more than Catching Fire, yep. Yeah, the romance was definitely unnecessary. Horrible romance in this series. NO ES NESESARIO! Frea ...more
