Mockingjay
Suzanne Collins
Blurb: Young Katniss Everdeen has survived the dreaded Hunger Games not once, but twice, but even now she can find no relief. In fact, the dangers seem to be escalating: President Snow has declared an all-out war on Kattnis, her family, her friends, and all the oppressed people of District 12. Book #3 in the Hunger Games series.
Opening Sentence: "I stare down at my shoes, watching as a fine layer of ash settles on the worn leather."
Length: Medium - 390 pages
Notes: I have eagerly been awaiting this final book in the Hunger Games series. And when I started it, I really had no preconceptions or ideas of how it was going to end. And really, even when I thought about it, I couldn't think of a way to end the series that would be a really good ending. All in all, I was ok with the ending. There were things that I didn't see coming, so that was a nice surprise. I thought this book was a lot more graphic than the first 2 books - it is still a little crazy that this whole series is aimed towards teens. And this is one of those book where I wish I was in a book group to discuss various things about it! But I really enjoyed the whole series and am sad that it's over.
Random quote : "It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart."
Recommend: yes - for the whole series!

I absolutely agree that this should be a book club book -- it just BEGS to be discussed!
I've come to terms with the ending. The only thing I really didn't like was what she did with Gale's character. It just didn't ring true for me. But I just thought this was a fantastic series, overall!
