Mockingjay [Paperback] Suzanne Collins

This novel kept saying things in a way so easy to understand and so difficult to digest. The author.. god she knows at what point the peaks and lows should be. And the humor and inside jokes. The details in which she explained the environment and situations. I loved reading this novel beside the marvelous plot it provided. Only part which didn't waved soemthing was elaborating the dark scenes so much. Back and forth. And giving the essence of it right in front of our nose. Like its a white rose.

Nice and good quality

3 stars. I liked it. Recommended. Hunger Games series is fast paced, thrilling, emotional and have a very good plot. I would definitely recommend the series to others but the conclusion of the series is bit disappointing. Conclusion is also tragic. I am happy that many characters didn't die but it was a sad ending. **spoilers ahead** Katniss reduced to self pitying and whining girl who can't handle with the tragic incidents happened in her life. She has no idea what's going on and didn't have any opinion about anything. She was very much confused. In previous installations she was kick ass,in control, intelligently assessing the situations to make decision but she lost all of her qualities. I agree that there is lot of bad things happening but I felt like she lost her main quality i.e. fighting back. Its a biggest low in this book for me. She whines about Peeta and Gale too. I hate it when any main character does that in any book. If you can't make up your mind then take a break, clear your mind and DECIDE. But don't go kissing around both and say 'I need Gale' and 'I need Peeta'( can't help but compare this to Twilight). I hated her for this. Then, there is matter of deaths. Some deaths seems to be silly, didn't make any sense and unnecessary. Death of Prim didn't have any impact on me because you don't get to meet her much in the story. So, I was not able to relate with Katniss's emotional turmoil which Prim's death brought on her. I really felt like slapping her when she agrees for Hunger Games giving a excuse that its for Prim( I think Hunger Games were the main reason for her death and she wants them again and that too for Prim ! What an idiot!). Many other characters just died without any cause for example Finnick. I was hoping that he is going to play some important role in killing of President Snow but sadly he just died(Oh, I know he was trying to save Katniss **sarcastically**). There is also one thing which confused me. When Boggs dies, he says "Don't Trust anyone. Kill Peeta. Do what you came for". I thought there is major plot twist coming but these lines had nothing to do with story that follows. Anyways, even with my complaints I enjoyed reading the series and always rooted for Katniss Everdreen.

Very nice

This is the book that found its way into my heart and this and another book is my all time favorite. This the GOAT of Books. You will find the pleasure of reading and discovering world's in this book if you hadn't in others. Suzzane Collins, if you read this, please continue writing more books. Reading books is a pleasure but writing books is a passion😎.

I just can't believe this has finished , when I first started reading this I had the mindset of "Oh well its a famous book , let's try it out" but slowly it has grown on me and taken over my thoughts. Kat's emotions are my emotions. Peeta's agony my agony and every single person who has died has burrowed a place deep in my heart. I am glad but also sad that this journey has come to an end , but I will never forget it not in my darkest times not in my My brightest days

After two action packed thrilling books 'Mockingjay', last book in The Hunger Games series does come into the party only near the end. Don't get me wrong, the book is still excellent, the only issue is the pacing of the book along with lot of emotional melodrama. [spoilers ahead] at the end of second book, it's clear that district 13 exists underground. Katniss is taken by district 13 people at the end of 75th Hunger Games and she is asked to act as Mockingjay for the rebellion. In return, all the tributes get the immunity and Katniss get to personally kill Snow. The book has good action towards the end, lots of violence and realistic. Suzzane Collins did not write expected ending which makes the whole series believable.The only problem with this book is the pacing of the book. Although considerable amount doubt is there in Katniss mind about District 13 but still she looks confused what to do & not do. Character of president of District 13, Coin doesn't seem believable and romantic angle falls flat. Despite it's flaws, its' still compelling read & highly recommended. [spoilers end]

It was good throughout the series until I reach the end, it shattered all my expectation, dissapointed a bit for that but nevermind, the fun I had reading this trilogy makes up whatever the ending is. It has all the element to make you delved into in, will also give you a pleasant reading experience. The concept is the key attribute, why people mostly pick up this series, I myself was quite intrigue hearing about the concept and it couldn't have been better, the way it has been presented is so appreciatable. The characters has been potrayed really well, you can feel every bit happening with the protagonist Katniss Everdeen, though I really liked Haymitch's drunken demeanour and ofcourse Peeta Mellark. I am contented with the experience I had. It somehow uplighted my desire to read more and more series. Just Read it. Happy Hunger Games💕

This is the third book in the Hunger Games series, and it felt great to final have a copy of it on my Kindle, rather than borrowing from everyone else. It's intense but a wonderful book and always leaves you wanting more. It's a great way to get yourself and / or your children to read more!

the moment i opened up the book to start reading the pages starting falling off after turning them only once or twice!!

This is the third, and final, book in The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. If you read the first two books, you will read this one. All I can say is to be prepared for one heck of a ride. A lot happens in this book and Collins doesn't hold off on killing off a lot of people. The book starts where Catching Fire left off. Katniss is in District 13 with Gale, her mom, and her sister Prim. The Rebel group based in District 13 is trying to get Katniss to take up the Mockingjay symbol and become the face of their revolution. Katniss is unsure if she wants to go this route or not. Peeta is still missing and presumed captured by President Snow and being held in the Capital. Katniss's journey eventually leads to the capital itself and a final face-off with President Snow. This is a hard book to review without spoilers but I will give it my best shot. The pace of this book is relentless. Collins does not pull punches when it comes to killing off large groups of people, as well as people we love and care about. This is a dark book, and that is putting it mildly. As far as characterization goes we begin to see even more of what defines Katniss as a character; she is not sentimental, she is a survivor foremost and that it what sets her apart from others. A lot of the decisions made by Katniss in this book are driven by that personality trait. In fact at one point Gale and Peeta are discussing Katniss and who she will "choose". Gale sums it up perfectly when he says something to the effect of "Katniss will choose whoever she can't survive without." On to other characters. The ruthlessness we saw in Gale at the end of the Catching Fire is built upon in this book. Gale is ruthless and practical to the point of dislike at times. He begins to look like a character that likes what Katniss stands for, rather than who she is. At the end of book two I was Team Gale all the way. I thought that Gale and Katniss had more in common in survival instincts and could pull off a good relationship based on those characteristics. As this book starts and continues, we see a side of Gale that is more ruthless and dispassionate than ever before. In order to avoid spoilers I won't say much about Peeta, except that he is back in the story for the second half of the book. Collins does an excellent job at showing both sides of the story. You get to see both the good the rebel forces do, and the harm they cause in rebelling against the Capital. As Katniss and team enter the capital, Collins relates the Capital takeover as yet another type of dome just like previous "Hunger Games" this is an interesting idea and ties the three novels together well. In each of them we see our teams of characters struggling to stay alive, doing things no one should have to do. In each book there are brutal deaths. There's quite the twist at the end of this book. People may be surprised at who Katniss kills. All I have to say about this is that I was satisfied with the choice Katniss made, and had actually been hoping that Collins would have it play out that way. Katniss's actions at the end seemed like the best way to follow Katniss's beliefs, while trying to ensure the best ending for humanity as a whole. The epilogue was interesting. It was kind of nice to get a definitive ending to everything that played out before. It wrapped things up nicely. Still, I didn't think the epilogue was necessary and I think the book would have actually been a bit better and more thought-provoking without it. As with the previous books the writing style of this book was incredibly readable and engaging; no matter people think of the plot, you have to admit Collins is one heck of a great writer. Overall I thought this was an excellent conclusion to the series. Readers may not like how some of things play-out; but I thought they played out realistically and I liked the decisions Katniss made at the end...I thought her decisions really stayed true to the core personality trait of her character, which was to survive. I am eagerly awaiting whatever Collins comes up with next.

Esta serie de Hunger Games atrapó a mi adolescente, muy recomendable para que tengan el hábito de la lectura.

La trilogie se dévore et se relit même avec le même plaisir. Dire qu'il s'agit d'un livre pour adolescents me paraît réducteur. certes les personnages principaux sont des adolescents mais à la différence des Harry Potter ou Twilight, l'histoire aborde toute une série de thèmes qui font appel à un minimum de culture et ou de connaissances historico-politico-sociétaux : références aux régimes totalitaires, à la rome antique, à la manipulation médiatique, à la téléréalité.... en outre, l'histoire est dramatique, cynique sur le comportement humain, on est loin d'un happy end ou du "ils vécurent heureux et eurent beaucoup d'enfants". Mon reproche se trouve sur le côté très prude de la romance qui me paraît peu crédible et sur la fin : Le roman comprend +/- 1200 (les 3) et l'auteur balaie la fin sur - de 20 pages. Une fois la révolte terminée, l'auteur semble n'avoir plus rien à dire ce qui est dommage compte tenu de la qualité des +/- 1180 pages qui précèdent. Bref, une trilogie d'enfer, géniale.
