4.5/5
The much-anticipated final book in The Hunger Games Trilogy packs quite a punch. I was literally exhausted at the end, even though there is probably a little less action in this book than in the previous two. In Mockingjay, Katniss and her friends embody the phrase, “War is hell.” We meet new characters, some of whom we love and many we despise immediately. We are reintroduced to old friends and enemies and are no longer certain who falls into which category. Be careful not to get too attached to any one character – there’s a fair chance he or she will die.
Overall, this entire series, including Mockingjay, is outstanding. War changes people, Katniss is no exception. The author does an excellent job of revealing exactly how people’s willingness to watch the suffering of others is a dangerous and slippery path. You never know when you may go from watching to watched.
