“The arena messed us all up pretty good, don’t you think?” — Page 279
Synopsis:
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she’s made it out of the bloody arena alive, she’s still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what’ s worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss’s family, not her friends, not the people of District 12.
I loved EVERYTHING about this series, especially Mockingjay, the last book in the trilogy. Brilliant plot, lots of action, plenty of suspense. It’s such a page-turner. This instalment reveals terrible, brutal truths. It is shocking to learn of the things the Capitol did or will do to the victors of the Hunger Games, where children fight to the death. It turns out that Katniss and Peeta are not the only ones plagued with problems. You will learn more as the story unfolds.
What will it take to break Katniss Everdeen? Katniss asks that question herself too. What is President Snow up to? What does he want to achieve? People are making sacrifices – those who fight for the same cause, those who support the Mockingjay. They have to make some very tough decisions. What would YOU do when you are faced with problems so deep, there seems to be no way out? The verdict?
This series is not to be missed. Friendship, love and sacrifices are the ingredients that make this trilogy so, so good. I like how the book ended. The contents can be deemed violent for young children (parental guidance is highly recommended).
