Mockingjay (Suzanne Collins)

The whole country of Panem is in chaos after the Quarter Quelle. Now, all of the districts are at war with the capital and it does not seem to be ending anytime soon until someone wins.
                    
The rebels (the people fighting the capital) need a mockingjay; someone to look up too and to empower them. But the Mockingjay can only stand so many camera’s, make- up and death before she goes crazy from being on the sidelines.

Things are going as planned for the rebels in the physical fighting process, but everyday some sort of explosion happens (courtesy of the capital) and hundreds of people die.

But the alternative to death may even be worst 'cause if one gets kidnaped by the capital, the capital can destroy one's memories and put in other memories- which is worst then death, in the Mockingjay and her friends eyes.

Only one side can win- but at what cost will they go to win? How many lives will be lost?

Let the 76th Hunger Games begin, because that is what the uprising is becoming

May the odds be ever in your favor

What on earth was the author doing when she wrote this book? She completely ruined everything she wrote in the first two books.

The author seemed to try to use characterization, but really she ruined the strength of the characters; they all seemed to have different personalities at the end of the book, and not in a good way.

I hated what she did to the protagonist and how the plot changed her. Everytime someone close to her died, she got stronger, but this time when someone close to her died, she became sad and depressing. It was so dumb because she never has had the personality to become depressing. She is a tough girl who has been through hell and back, you can't suddenly make her turn 180 degrees.

Then she ended a really well written love triangle in three pages! Seriously? Why in the universe did the author do something like that? She ruined a huge background storyline.

The theme of this book was also horrible. It basically is showing people if one does something wrong to you, you can do it back to them.

The only thing good about this book was the suspense and imagery. But you need a lot more than two strong literacy terms when the main ones are horrible.

2 out of 5 stars.
