This is the third and final book in the Hunger Games series and it is just as gripping as the others, even if it is a lot bloodier.
At the end of book two, Katniss was plucked out of the arena by the rebel forces leaving Peeta behind. District 12 no longer exists after it was firebombed when Katniss was rescued. She and her mother and her younger sister, Prim, are taken into District 13 along with the other survivors from District 12 including Gale, Katniss’s best friend. President Coin of District 13 wants to turn Katniss into the Mockingjay, a symbol of the rebellion against the Capital. Reluctantly, she agrees as long as Peeta, who is used as a tool by the Capital, and the other tributes still in the Capital are pardoned and she gets to kill President Snow. As the Mockingjay, Katniss is filmed in propaganda clips that can get rather bloody as the rebels rally around her and storm the Capitol. It’s almost like she has been groomed for the arena again.
Be prepared. This book has more bloodshed and death than the first two books put together. One of the beloved characters die and Katniss earns her share of wounds and scars. In the end, however, the truth wins out and she is left with the man she needs to survive – and little else.
Also there are some heart breaking parts. I actually cried!!
ReplyDeleteYes... I agree "Awesome 8th Grader", even though I am positive I'm awesomer... just kidding.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought that Suzanne Collins screwed up miserably on this book.
Epic. Fail.
wwhhaatt? Yesi, this is the best book ever!!! and BTW i am awesomer than you by a long shot!!! but madi tops us all!!! hahaha
ReplyDeleteSeemed to me as though Katniss turned into a frickin' punching bag by the end of book 3 while all her comrades in arms were just cannon fodder. War has it's casualties, sure, but really? Did she have to turn into a female Rambo so that the readers could "connect" with her? Me thinkest not. Otherwise excellent series.
