Mockingjay: The final book of The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
A good conclusion (3/26/2012)
I really enjoyed the Hunger Games trilogy. The third installment, Mockingjay, I feel has been too harshly judged. It was somewhat different than the other two books, but I feel that Collins did well wrapping the story up for the most part. We all knew that the war was an eminent threat, and in this book we see the unfolding and final results of that. She does well in her telling of the different effects that are felt by the characters of the war as well. There were a couple of things that I think could have been addressed better. Katniss spent more than enough time in the hospital recuperating from her being a focal point of the war for both sides. I do that she captured the hardships of a rebel war fairly well. The other problem I have, was that the end was quite abrupt. There is all of the build up in the war, and as soon as the major battle is over, the book, with mere mention of the aftermath of the war ends as well. Over all, I thought that Collins did well to finalize the thrilling trilogy that so many have delighted in. The book is not unrealistic, and definitely worth the read to conclude the series.
