Mockingjay
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
4.5 out of 5 stars
I will be the first to tell you that I try not to jump too enthusiastically onto the blockbuster book bandwagons. You won't see me wearing a Team Jacob (or Team Peeta) T-shirt. But I did love this book. There is a reason it is so popular - it is a great story. I have heard many people say they were disappointed in this final installment of the Hunger Games Trilogy. I was impressed with it. The other two books were entertaining, gripping, and impossible to put down (I read Hunger Games from 10 pm to 6 am on a Saturday night). However, none of them made a huge impression on me. They were just interesting stories that I quickly forgot. This story made me think about life, love and sacrifice. I know, I know. Getting cheesy. I'll wrap up and just say that I loved this book and there was more to it than an entertaining story.

I also liked this book. I read it the day after reading the 2nd book of the series and I liked it just as much. I think. I don't know. Because I read them all so quickly and so close to each other they all kind of blend. But if you liked the other two of the series, I definitely recommend finishing it up by reading this final book.
I LOVED this series. Really, I had like 8 other books to read, and I had no other desire to read any of them once I was done with them because I knew they wouldn't pull me in as much as Hunger Games did.
And I'm so glad I didn't start reading until the 3rd one was out, I read all of them over the space of a week, one after the other, and I loved doing it that way.
yeah, I would definitely recommend reading them all at once. I read them one at a time and then waited and waited for them to come out... by the time the next one was out I had forgotten a couple of things.
