Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she's made it out of the bloody arena alive, she's still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what's worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss's family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins's groundbreaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year.

This book is a most read. I love this book!

I absolutely love this book! The last book in the famous trilogy gives you the rebellion that we've all been waiting for! Mockingjay gives all the things you could ever want in a great book. Rebellion, suspense, troubling romance, sad deaths (yes. a book would not be complete without some very sad deaths...). Leaving off from the second book Catching Fire, Katniss finds out that District 12 is no more. Mockingjay starts in the ruins of 12 where Katniss sees all the dead bodies of 12. Gale having saved about 800 people of 12 had them moved to 13, The long lost district that just happens to still be alive. Katniss is starting to lose herself. She is going a bit mental from all this information she doesn't want to know. All she knows is that she killed this dead body and that dead body and that one as well. She just knows it's her fault about everything. The berries, the arrow in the force field, Peeta being left behind. In Mockingjay, this book shows how Katniss becomes the Mockingjay, how she struggles to stay alive. With Coin on her tail and Plutarch telling her to do this and that, she starts tuning out and doing her own thing. In the second half of the book, we start venturing through the Capitol and how the Star Team (The ones actually filmed and the ones who die and we acknowledge it) goes on a mission to kill Snow. As I said earlier, it includes deaths of great people and grief that goes for eternity. All I know is that this is must read (but not a must read before the must read first and second book--which means you have to read those two first) and I love it. If you enjoy troubling romance, rebellion, a bit of death to add in the heat, courageous and brave people, filming, and coming-of-age, you will like this book. I am going to say that this book is meant for slightly older kids but if you wanna read go ahead and do so. I just think that some of the material in the book would be a little harder to understand if you are younger. But do what you want! I'll be reading this book when I'm 80 years old lol. But as I said, don't read the amazing book until you read the amazing first and second books! Make sure to watch the not-as-amazing-but-still-awesome movies after as well! (The third book is split into two movies.) I hope you like this book series as much as I do!

Wonderful book couldn't stop reading! This book has Amazing depth, the author seems to have a unlimited amount of creativity. I love the whole trilogy.

The books that were in this series were amazing so I want to read this one too

I am reading this book right now and I love it

At least it ended well for Katniss and Peeta, though I kinda feel bad for Gale ,but overall I love it.

For a third installation, this book was really breathtaking. Suzanne Collins wove adventure and suspense in this thrill ride of a novel. Grade A.

The final book in Suzanne Collins' bestselling Hunger Games trilogy will render you speechless. A book reviewed by the most famous authors, including world-renowned Stephanie Meyer, Katniss Everdeen's last written adventure will not disappoint. Panem is now in chaos. Katniss is cooped up in District 13, vying for a chance to leave the "underground prison." With Peeta held captive and the entirety of District 12 obliterated, Katniss' mental health has hit rock bottom. Gale, Finnick, and the rest of the people later known as the Star Squad do little to ease Katniss' unrest. Yet, when Peeta is finally brought back to Katniss, she is in for a horrible dose of reality, only further reinforcing her lack of will to live. This teenager's journey through heartbreak, depression, war, and healing is not one to be missed.

Just when I thought this series couldn’t get any better, it did. The epic finale of the Hunger Games Trilogy is insane and it made me root for Katniss the whole way! In the novel, Katniss and her closest allies have to embark on a dangerous mission, and it was very emotional for me at times because there were so many lives that had to be sacrificed along the way, which was super sad. Still, I really loved the ending to Katniss, Peeta, and Gale’s journey. This book is seriously a must-read!

It was sad for gale though, but yeah I totally agree the book is a MUST READ, as well as the whole trilogy!!!

Katniss has survived the Hunger Games once again, but she is still not safe. After the Hunger Games, changes have been made. District 12 is gone. Katniss is the face of the new rebellion, and she is the mockingjay. To add, to that, the Capitol has taken Peeta. President SNow reminds Katniss that not only her safety is in risk, but her family and friends. The rebellion is the start of a change in Panem's history. This book was action-filled, and made me wonder what would happen next. I rate it 5/5, and recommend it to people who like utopian and dystopian novels.
