    A powerful ending.
    Honestly I can say that I read this novel not knowing what Collins was going to throw at me. I devoured every chapter and knowing Collins style... each chapter had a cliff hanger!!! I am glad on the way Collins wrapped the series up because my emotions were in turmoil, ranging from sadness, relief, gratitude, oh the list can go on...

    I loved the story.
    The story was brilliant, but it was very dull the first half of the book. I expected way more, yet was still pleased with the entire series.

    Good Series
    I absolutely loved the books and the series the ending of the last book however was terrible. The last chapters of the book it was if someone else had finished it for her and they had not read any of the other books either that or she just wanted to finish the books and slapped together an ending without any feeling. I did not feel that is how Katniss would have responded and was seriously disappointed. In my mind I will remember the series with the ending it should have had and not the one that Suzanne wrote for it.

    Really
    Well Suzanne Collins, I have finally¸got through the third one with considerable effort. Some people may think this series to be a good triology but I am certainly not one of them. Katniss`s character is at its worst. She is not a hero, she is a kid with absolutely no control. Very bad ending. Requires much more meat on the relationship with Coin. A waste of time and money.

    Emotionally Gripping; Realistic
    Based upon a few of the reviews I read, I think some people were not expecting realism. Mockingjay is completely realistic to how Katniss, in her situation, would react. The emotions are tugging, and there were times that I cried. The ending could have had a more solid finish, but that is my only complaint for the ending of this trilogy. The Hunger Games - 5/5 (Amazing description, pulls the reader in, keeps the action going) Catching Fire - 4/5 (Slow start, and a bit of filler at the beginning... Though the second half, the arena, makes up for it.) Mockingjay - 5/5 (Keeps the reader on their toes, merciless-unexpected deaths, and gripping emotion.)

    Not nearly as amazing as the first 2
    I'll keep it simple. Book 1: Amazing. 5/5 Book 2: Amazing, almost, almost better then the first. 5/5 Book 3: Horrible. 2/5 I had a lot of trouble putting the pieces together and seeing the story in my head. I didn't understand all of the "traps" or whatever they called it in the Capitol. If the first 2 hadn't been so incredibly amazing, this book would've made a bigger impact on me. But since the first 2 were, like, SO FREAKING AMAZING!, Mockingjay was super, SUPER disappointing.

    Disappointment
    When you finish a book you should have this sense of emotional satisfaction. This book does not give you that feeling. I enjoyed The Hunger Games, I thought it was an easy read and the ending had me craving for more. Catching Fire wasn't as well written in my opinion I felt that the 75th Hunger Games was a walk in the park rather than a battle to the death. It was just blah however I did like how she dove deeper into some of the past victors she breifly mentioned in the previous book (especially Finnick). Mocking Jay fell extremely below my expectations, to the point where I won't even re-read it. It felt like she took the easy way to end the series instead of diving deeper into things. The series didn't end with a bang it sort of just sizzled out. It's deffinetly not the worst book I've read but I was hoping for a more satisfying ending.

    WOW....NOT!
    I enjoyed the first two books in this series so I don't want to be too negative about Mockingjay but let's just say it was disappointing and leave it at that.

    A LITTLE OF THE SIZZLE IS GONE
    Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games not once, but twice. The second time in an unexpected rescue which deposited her in the mysterious District 13. Long thought to be bombed out, Katniss discovers it is anything but the empty shell portrayed for years. The residents have simply gone underground and developed of new life style. Try as she might Kat cannot seem to fit in, until she is “drafted” into becoming the Mockingjay … symbol of hope to everyone trying to overthrow the capital. There were a few surprises in this book and there were a few shocks in this book, unfortunately the surprises and shocks were not reserved for the ending … I saw that one coming. Overall it was a good book, true to the characters and true to the story thus far, but somehow lacking. I didn’t feel as invested in the characters as in the first book and found myself having a few “awww – come on” moments. I loved the first book and really like the trilogy but with apologies to all, I think it lost a little of its sizzle as it went on.

    Fell short.
    I thought it was very slow and felt flat. Not what I expected and did not go out with a bang.

"Fans will be happy to hear that Mockingjay is every bit as complex and imaginative as Hunger Games and Catching Fire." - Entertainment Weekly

"Suspenseful... Collins'' fans, grown-ups included, will race to the end." - USA Today

"At its best the trilogy channels the political passion of 1984, the memorable violence of A Clockwork Orange, the imaginative ambience of The Chronicles of Narnia and the detailed inventiveness of Harry Potter." - New York Times Book Review

"Unfolding in Collins'' engaging, intelligent prose and assembled into chapters that end with didn''t-see-that-coming cliffhangers, this finale is every bit the pressure cooker of its forebears. [Mockingjay] is nearly as shocking, and certainly every bit as original and thought provoking, as The Hunger Games. Wow." - Los Angeles Times

"This concluding volume in Collins''s Hunger Games trilogy accomplishes a rare feat, the last installment being the best yet, a beautifully orchestrated and intelligent novel that succeeds on every level." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
