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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

It felt like it took me forever to read it but it really only took me two days. I want to say that this book had a lot of filler in it, but that is just being mean and not being accurate because I absolutely loved it. It was a lot of the same stuff over and over again about killing President Snow and choosing between Peeta and Gail. But not only that! The author had to make this a long book to show how Katniss was slowly losing faith in herself and how everything was slowly spiriling downhill. Those sorts of things do not happen in a few days. The author did an amazing job in showing the struggles Katniss went through, physically and internally. This book begins with Katniss in the hospital after the end of her second time in the Hunger Games. Haymitch, her mentor, saved her life and got her out of there right on time before the Capitol could get her. Finnick was lucky to be taken with her as well but president Snow got a hold of Peeta before the people from District 13 could save him. Katniss was being treated in District 13 since no where else was safe anymore. She suffered some injuries while in the arena and District 13 was doing a good job at bringing her back to her previous self. She and her family now had to live there as well. Her home, District 12, was blown to bits with nothing left but the three victors’ homes. Half of the District's residents were killed on site including all of Peeta’s family. Throughout Katniss’ entire life she thought that District 13 was a bunch of rubble, but it really it is an underground District determined to take over the Capitol. Katniss is and will forever be the Mockingjay. Her face and actions are the only things that are keeping the rebels alive and determined to win over the poverty and unfair laws of President Snow. Other districts have rebelled against the Capitol and it is only a matter of time before they succeed. Katniss is hell bent of getting Peeta back because President Snow is brainwashing him to hate Katniss. The war must go on and Katniss agrees to be their Mockingjay on a few conditions. The two main ones were to rescue Peeta and that she gets to personally kill President Snow. The entire book shows how Katniss slowly loses her mind and she has to keep reminding herself who she is. All of her exterior battle scars have been healed but the mental scars keep adding up until there is no more of the real Katniss anymore. She is no longer the seventeen year-old that volunteered as tribute for her little sister in her first Hunger Games. This is not a happy book, nor do I think that was the authors intentions. The author is trying to portray that once someone goes through hardships like Katniss did with the war… they never return as the same person. They are forever changed. There were a few confusing parts that I had to re-read, but other than that, I was hooked on every word. This book didn’t bring out that many emotions as Catching Fire did, but the tears kept flowing at the end (im not ruining anything) when Butercup returns home. I have no idea why I cried so much. I loved the ending and I totally agree with how the author chose to finish it off. It was definitely worth the read and I highly recommend the series to people looking for a book to get lost in. My thoughts cannot get over this book yet. It might take me some time. Now, all I have to do is watch the movie!
