And here we get to the final book of the Hunger Games trilogy. Mockingjay continues the story to its conclusion, and does so in a mostly satisfying way. Its not as good as the second book, though, as it seems like a lot of the action in the novel is quite forced. Almost like Collins had to add in a Hunger Games Arena even though there was no arena anywhere in the storyline. (In other words, actual streets within the capitol have arena-like traps and obstacles, which made no sense at all to me, and really accomplished nothing more than adding confusion.)

The final big twist at the end was also badly handled; I think it should have been made a bigger deal of --- it almost feels like there was a payoff that was expected but not delivered upon.

Still, though, it was fun enough to read...

4 of 5 stars.
