Mockingjay

WARNING! IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE HUNGER GAMES OR CATCHING FIRE DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW! SPOILER ALERT!

Hi! I am sooo excited right now because track starts on Monday! WOOHOO! But back to business now, I just finished Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games #3), and it was the last book in the series.

Katniss Everdeen has now survived the Hunger Games twice. The moment she threw that arrow into the arena forcefield everything changed. First, she and some of the other victors were busted out of the games by a hovercraft, but the only problem... Peeta wasn't rescued. Peeta is now prisoner of the Captiol by President Snow. Now Katniss has to be the Mockingjay in District 13, where yes, there is civilization. But how are they going to overthrow the Capitol when anything they do may harm Peeta? All the districts are now rebelling, and it's up to Katniss to save Peeta, kill President Snow, and keep everyone she loves safe.
Unfortunately, this book didn't capture me like The Hunger Games and Catching Fire did, I really was hoping it would. I told myself it would get better as the book went along, but I guess I was wrong. The book lacked the action and excitement and twists of the two previous books. It felt like to me it was just stretching itself just so it could be a little longer. It was really slow. The only good actiony parts were at the very very end, and that was about a page long. Of course, not a very happy ending, but happy all the same. There had to be some deaths, I already knew that. Overall, a kind of slow going book that I probably overestimated because of the greatness of the previous two. However, if you read any of the previous books you have to read this, because you have GOTTA know what happens in the end.

Stars: 3.75
