Mockingjay (Hunger Games, Bk 3)

Many reviews on this book is that it was boring, started very slow, and they did not like the ending. However, I thought this book was an appropriate compliment to the first two in the series. The other two were very powerful in that they had a lot of drama and put the reader through a great deal of emotions. They had many events that were shocking and you had no idea what would happen next. I do believe Mockingjay had to bring all of the events in the previous two into focus, to help us really understand Katniss' decisions at the end. Even though there was not as much action in the this one as with the others, the parts that did have action hit hard, making the story well worth reading and anxious to see what would happen. I do not know about anyone else, but if Katniss had to go through another 'Hunger game-like' struggle in this one, I do not think I could finish it. I needed just a little less trauma. With it all said and done, I felt this book was a perfect conclusion to all Katniss has been through, and her choice was necessary for her situation. Great read.
