Plot: Young Katniss Everdeen has survived the dreaded Hunger Games not once, but twice, but even now she can find no relief. In fact, the dangers seem to be escalating: President Snow has declared an all-out war on Katniss, her family, her friends, and all the oppressed people of District 12. The thrill-packed final installment of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy will keep young hearts pounding.
Review: If you have ever doubted that a YA Novel could be a masterpiece, read the Hunger Games. Mockingjay is pure perfection, mixing confusion, love and violence. In this book Katniss is helping to lead the revolution in District 13 (which was started in Catching Fire) and I am warning you, if you are soft and emotional like me, you
will cry. And wierdly, I seemed to cry at all the wrong moments - I won't necessarily cry at the death scenes, but when Katniss mentions them later I
weep [I think I'm in shock!]
I think Suzanne Collins is one of the only YA Authors who is brave enough to kill off sub-main, possibly even main characters - don't worry, that's as far as I'm going. I won't reveal any names.
I'm not sure what else to say for risk of spoiling the story for you; however, I must
completely disregard the statement which I have perviously made about not needing a trilogy. The themes and storylines within this series have changed drastically, and the world of the Hunger Games is a lot more complex than at first glance.
A
must read - 5 stars!!!!!!!
If you haven't read them yet, read them now, before the film comes out, otherwise you will never properly experience all the detail Suzanne Collins took care to write. However amazing the film will be, it will probably never be quite as good as the books.
Happy Reading,

I loved reading these books but personally I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first two, even though this was really good, I just don't think it was as good...
