Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Oct. 26th, 2010 10:15 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
The Hunger Games.
“If we burn you burn with us.”
Kaniss Everdeen’s final battle has begun.
Part Three of the astonishing Hunger Games Trilogy.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Having been unimpressed by CATCHING FIRE, I found MOCKINGJAY a really interesting read. Collins lifts her story above the love triangle element to explore themes of the horror of war, how rebellions fought for good reasons can spiral out of control and how violence leaves everyone damaged. Although it is a flawed book, with some elements not really coming off, it’s a fascinating, mature and dark read and one that I would recommend checking out.
