Christmas Countdown Review #12 - Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Hi everyone, I know it's been a while (well, 3 days) since my last review but you get 3 reviews today! Days 12-14. I thought I'd have more time to update after my exams were over but it turned into a really busy weekend.

Anyway, on to the review, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

Mockingjay is the 3rd book in the Hunger Games trilogy and Mockingjay part 1 is coming out soon, hence the review.

Mockingjay picks up directly in the aftermath of Catching Fire when Katniss is rescued, obviously the Capitol still has Peeta and Katniss is adamant that something must be done. When they reach the home of the resistance (It's District 13 but you didn't hear that from me) Katniss is briefed on the situation and her role as the Mockingjay and they begin to plan. They plan Peeta's rescue, discussing whether or not it's even possible, the rebellion, the possible overthrow of the Capitol and President Snow, whether or not that is a goal which can be reached, they talk about everything, planning down to the last detail. Will Katniss and her family ever be reunited? Will they be able to rescue Peeta? Will the corrupt Capitol and President Snow ever be overthrown? Read on to find out.

As a dystopian future series the Hunge Games is very good and well loved by many. Mockingjay is a very good book, at the beginning at least. I did like it bu the ending left me wanting more. The way that it ends just didn't seem right for some reason. (Those who have read Mockingjay know exactly what I'm talking about). The rest of the book was OK what with the rebellion and the overthrow of the Capitol and everything It's just the ending that didn't seem right. Of course I'm not going to spoil everything by telling you exactly what didn't seem right about the ending. You'll have to read the book to find out,

All in all, as the end to a series it was alright but overall I think I'd give it a 7/10.

That's all for this review and I'll see you next time with the 13th review!
