Of course I had to read this book with all the anticipation built up in me from the first two. I was glad I got to see the story played out to the end, however I can't say I was really happy with how the book went. But maybe that's the point.

I have eagerly awaiting for this book and I was at the bookstore on the 24th to pick up my copy. I love this series and the third installment was no exception.

There is tragedy, heart break, doubts, self recriminations and much more, but after all Pandem is at war. Every turn, and even all the new characters are unexpected and well defined, even if they are not lovable. This book puts a question on the table: What would you do to win the war? The things that people would do are amaizing since they are not fighting only the capitol, but each other.

Katnis is increadible, so strong and so full with guilt, but she shines as the Monckinjay, giving a face to the revolution and inspiration to the revels. Peeta breaked my heart more than once, but I was happy with the ending.

I cannot say enough good thinks about theis series, if you haven't read the Hunger Games, start now!

I'm not sure what I can say without giving away any spoilers. I can say that it is extremely action packed. I read it in one sitting. I stayed up until 2 am reading after work. I'm not sure I will be much good today, but I could not put it down. I am not sure what I think about the ending. I think I read it too fast to really say. I will re-read in a week or so before I can say for sure. This is one of the most action pack series I have ever read. I think I could recommend this series to pretty much anyone.

I think the biggest and only problem I encountered with this book was that I didn’t have the chance to reread Catching Fire entirely. I had only gotten up to the first two chapters before I had gotten the book. Naturally, I should have kept going and finished the book, but I was so busy, I didn’t know when I would end up reading Mockingjay. I pretty much knew the story line, but I found that I forgot a lot of the other tributes’ names and a lot of details that were really relevant. It was confusing at first because Mockingjay doesn’t give me much to work with. I only end up with a vague recollection of what happened. I tried not to dwell on details that were fuzzy and instead I focused on the story line.

I think what makes the third book so different from the rest is the fact that there is no arena in a literal sense. It’s the Hunger Games in a whole new way. It is a lot more political and war-centered than the first two books. At first I wasn’t sure I was going to live up to my expectations. But there were just so many twists and turns in the plot that got me hooked. There were so many times that I told myself, okay, last chapter before bed, but then a chapter ends with a massive cliffhanger and I couldn’t put the book down. Katniss’ voice is just so strong and she has a way of telling her story that makes me want more. However, since I don’t see Katniss as a romantic at all, so all the romance scenes to me were just up to par.

True, the plot was great. But really the element, or I should say character, that left me hanging on every page was Peeta. He makes the books for me. I think he is the highlight of every book.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the book and it’s ending. To me, a series has to end just right or all that time and investment goes to waste. I like to end a series with a warm, fuzzy feeling, not with a bad taste in my mouth. Endings leave the lasting impressions.

OMG! I can't believe it's over! But I am happy with the ending, and the story was so full of twists and turns it made my head spin.
