Is it necessary to give more praise than what has been shown for this series? This third book completes the Hunger Games series with a bang. Great ending.

The trilogy was a great story overall. However, the ending seemed a bit abrupt. I felt as though the writer either rushed to meet a publisher's deadline or just got tired of writing. It was disappointing.

Mockingjay is the final exciting instalment of the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. Katniss Everdeen, having survived her first Hunger Games and been plucked out of the Quarter Quell by the rebels living in District t13, is now required to become the symbol of the rebellion, the Mockingjay. But while her mother and her sister Prim were rescued by her best friend, Gale, her own District 12 has been destroyed and Peeta Melark is a captive of the Capitol. It takes a reminder of President Coriolanus Snow to cement her resolve to become the Mockingjay. But while the revolution gains strength, Katniss is torn by the number of people dying for the cause she is heading: she is beginning to wonder if the regimentation of District 13 and President Alma Coin are any better than the Capitol and Snow. In this thrilling finale, Collins uses her main character to comment on: the power of the media and those who control it; how circumstances can turn gentle people into warriors; how power corrupts; the futility of war; and how those who develop weapons have no control over how they will be used. Collins gives the reader believable characters and an electrifying plot with plenty of twists. This may not be capital L literature, but it is nonetheless a gripping and thought-provoking read.

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.

I really loved the trilogy by Suzanne Collins. However, I was was really disappointed with what I felt was a rushed ending that made the characters feel pathetic. The love triangle that entangled me and left me hungry for more dissolved before my eyes. I still think that the author is talented and that her books bought me hours of joy. I felt their pain and in the end I was angry and it caused me pain. Did anyone else experience feel this way real or unreal?

I love to read and I love this series, it is seriously on my top ten list, right up there with Harry Potter and Twilight. It is engaging, keeps you reading for hours. I stayed up for two weeks and blasted through all four books. It is full of adventure, gore, romance, what else could you ask for? As someone who greatly appreciates a great fantasy written in the first person, I highly highly recommend this series.
