After the 75th annual Hunger Games ended without a victor, all of Panem is in revolt. In the underground safety of District 13, Katniss is wanted as the face of the revolution, the Mockingjay. But it soon becomes obvious they will have to bring the battle to the Capitol.
I was afraid Mockingjay would be disappointing, but it is the perfect finish to the Hunger Games. Edge of my seat anticipation altered with serious realizations of the consequences of war. ( )

Reread as audio & liked it much more, especially after getting past the first quarter of regurgitating old stuff. ( )

**Some spoilers below**

If I could rate this any higher, I would.
When I finished the book, I remembered the reason why I couldn't bring myself to read it in the first place. I knew that it was going to be hard. Not just because of a character dying, but because they all felt like friends. Friends whom I had come to know and love, and then, in the blink of an eye, I felt like I had lost them, even though I know that they will be there the second I pick the books up again. It also felt as if the world stopped. The End. For a second, I just couldn't believe it was over.
This was just one of those books that I was so involved in, that it hurt all the same, even though I knew that it probably would in the first place. I haven't read a book in a while where I actually felt as if I was there. To be so involved, that I felt as if I was there, fighting with Katniss and Thirteen. There when Prim died. There when Buttercup appeared, and Buttercup and Katniss consoled one another after Prim's death. Where Peeta and Katniss's children are playing on the graveyard of those who didn't survive the bombing.
Even though knowing that I would get my heart broken again in an instant, I would read the book series again. ( )

An "okay" resolution to the Hunger Games trilogy, but probably the weakest of the three books.

I had to struggle to get through this one, as much of the tension and drama seemed forced. I never like it when dramatic situations come from characters failing to do reasonable things.

Also, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to like Katniss after this book...but I don't. In fact, I didn't really like any of the characters that survive... except perhaps Hamich and Joanna Mason.

I would have liked to see a little more about post-war Panem, but apparently the author was more interested in waxing about Katniss and Peeta's future than actually resolving her story.

I recommend this only to those readers who have read "The Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" and *really* want to see how the trilogy turns out. Overall, if someone asked about these books, I might tell them to read just the first, and skip the others. ( )

Started off being ok with this book and now that I'm done, I hate it!!! Ms. Collins is a good writer and creating this series is genius, but HATE the ending and it's lucky I respect her enough to give it 3 stars. Cause I'd really like to give it 1...it has made me an emotionless mess and I'm not happy about it. ( )
