I can only compare it to "Ender's Game" - and that is extremely high praise, indeed. When I first closed the book last night, I felt shattered, empty, and drained. And that was the point, I think. I'm glad I waited to review the book because I'm not sure what my review would have been. For the first two books, I think most of us readers have all been laboring under the assumption that Katniss Everdeen would eventually choose one of the two terrific men in her life: Gale, her childhood companion or Peeta, the one who accompanied her to the Hunger Games twice. She'd pick one of them and live happily ever after with him, surrounded by friends and family. Somehow, along the way, Katniss would get rid of the awful President Snow and stop the evil Hunger Games. How one teenage girl would do all that, we weren't too sure, but we all had faith and hope that she would. "Mockingjay"...

I have read a lot of the bad reviews for this last book and I see a theme running through them all. They didn't get their fairytale ending and the people they liked didn't end up the way they wanted. Well If you are looking for a fairytale read Harry Potter. If you want a realistic book on how war really is and how people will sacrifice themselves to save their country, then this is for you. The love triangle between the three main characters resolves itself in the best way that I could see possible. The way each one would react to the horrors of war were obvious from book one. I don't want to include spoilers so Ill just say, read this with an expectation of a realistic portrayal of the characters and how the war would change them. The ending on a personal level, is not necessarily a happy one, but it is a realistic one. From a "Big Picture" perspective I think it was a happy ending. To expect that all of the main characters could...

In some ways, yes, I agree that this story is a war-story, and some of the scenes were rather poignant and helped invoked the theme that yes, war really really sucks. There's no doubt about it. However, I don't think this was great literature. Actually, comparing it to Twilight, with such scenes as the "let's talk about who the girl is going to pick while she's asleep" and the fact that whenever a major event occurs Katniss is conveniently in the hospital or unconscious and needs to be told about it later (whatever happened to show, not tell, Collins?), is not that far of a stretch. The characters that we fell in love with throughout the series, the reason the Hunger Games was wildly popular in the first place, were mysteriously missing the entire last book. Katniss was hollow and dead, Peeta was absent and even absent when he was there, Gale STILL had no personality, and Haymitch lost his sarcasm and... Read more |
