MOCKINGJAY

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins - This book is the third and final story in the Hunger Games trilogy. This is where we find out what happens to Katniss and Panem, and more importantly whether she ends up with Gale or Peeta or not. This is just a bit slow at the beginning while Katniss catches us up on the events of the previous two books. Once she is on her way to the Capitol, though, things really start to move. Katniss is an interesting character, and I find myself thinking about her and her relationships and how she can be clueless and clueful at the same time. It's pretty heavy stuff for pre-teens and teens, but I guess it's what we like when we're young. I love these books that transcend age, gender, and time in history. Enjoy!
