Mockingjay

When something unexpected happens, do you take charge or do you just follow the crowd? Could you stand having dozens of people's lives on your hands? Would you be able to piece yourself back together after losing someone close to you? How about losing two? Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins has all of the action and adventure from the Hunger Games, combined with the surprise factor from Catching Fire, all snow-balled in together with new horrors and decisions that make Mockingjay a book worth reading.

After surviving her first two Hunger Games, Katniss's life has become a living nightmare. Since her escape from the arena, she's been sent to District 13, the district that everyone else thought was ruins. She's been slowly putting the pieces of her life back together, even though she's lost Peeta to the Capitol, her house is in cinders, and a new revolution is beginning. As plans are put into action concerning the fall of the Capitol and the rise of District 13, everyone seems to put their faith in Katniss, believing that she'll follow orders, not her heart, and accept everything that comes with it. But as we know, Katniss just can't operate that way, and trouble rouses when Peeta is rescued, with all his memories of Katniss distorted into living terrors. To make matters worse, it seems as though every one has it out for Katniss, including the leader of District 13. Plus now the revolution is beginning, with Katniss as the rebel's Mockingjay. Will Katniss be able to survive yet another year in this universal version of the Hunger Games?

This book is a great one to read because if you've read the Hunger Games and Catching Fire, you just have to read the ending. There's no way you can eat only half an ice cream bar, so there's no way you can only read part of this series. Collins creates such a visual and breathtaking ending to her trilogy that really completes it.

So, will Peeta ever remember the Katniss he loved? Will District 13 triumph over the Capitol, or will there just be chaos? Is it even possible for Katniss to lose anyone else close to her? Read Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and you'll be content with the ending she provides.
