Mockingjay is by far one of the best books out this year it has a fantastic storyline and is a great conclusion to the trilogy, it has the best effect on the reader and it is almost certainly going to go down in history

Mockingjay is the third book in Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games trilogy. After eagerly finishing the first and second book (The Hunger Games and Catching Fire) I couldn't wait for this one. Suzanne does not dissapoint. The ending is sad, the book is slightly more darker than the previous two, but a enjoying and satisfying end to this trilogy nonetheless.

I hadn't heard of the Hunger Games books until the film came out in March. Reading good reviews, I went to see the film and came away impressed by the plot, the story and the way the movie had been made. I bought the trilogy on the spot. Where to begin? The dystopian premise of the books is outstanding. The central character, Katniss Everdeen, possesses a pleasing mix of bravery, love for her family and friends, as well as strength of purpose. However, she's got a ruthless streak, and doesn't hesitate to use others for her own gain. I thought that Collins did a great job throughout the three books in maintaining the reader's interest in Katniss, by keeping us guessing what she would do next. This is where Collins excels. The story moves seamlessly from the first book, in which Katniss and her wannabe boyfriend, Peeta (not as well formed a character as Gale, her hunting partner) are thrown into the horror that is the Hunger Games, to the second, where it happens again. The third book takes the tale even further, as the Districts rise up against the Capitol. I had been told by many people that the third book was by far the weakest, yet I enjoyed it a lot. Where it did fall down, I felt, was the many places in which the story was jerked from one point to another with no real explanation or 'back filler' for the story. Sometimes the jump was only a day or two in length, but occasionally, it was weeks after the last section. While this is necessary in novels sometimes, it can be done more seamlessly. It's a small criticism, however. I loved this trilogy, and I look forward with great anticipation to the second film. Thoroughly recommended. If you liked these books and haven't yet read Patrick Ness's outstanding Chaos Walking trilogy, then get out and buy them! Ben Kane, author of Spartacus: The Gladiator.

This book is amazing. The writing being from Katniss' point of view makes you feel like you are really there, being chased by one of the many horrors this book holds. At every turn there is a new challenge for Katniss and her friends and family to overcome, and as soon as you think that the situation can't become any worse, something else happens to make Katniss' hopes of getting back to her old life seem even more impossible. The ending made it hard to understand whether or not it ended well. I flicked back to previous pages to try and understand how she had decided. Or had it been decided for her? A tragic yet unputdownable read.

Wow. i have admired the three books as it is one of the best books i have ever read. This book was unpredictable as it had a few twist to it. While reading this book i wasnt to sure what would happen at the end of the book, But i am glad what the author had done as i loved the ending
