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. -Back of The BookI bought this book because, (obviously) I read the first two. The first two, (I must start on a positive note) are my favorite books ever. EVER! Needless to say, I was extremely excited for the third one. I even bought "The Mockingjay Pin" At Hot Topic. Guilty, yes. I found the book utterly amazing and intense, but nowhere near as good as the first two. The last four chapters and Epilogue ruined any chance it had of being just as good as the first two. COMPLETELY OBLITERATED! A lot of the book was expected...but a lot of it was just frustrating. It may have not been so frustrating if it weren't for the completely rushed and poorly written ending. Not to mention throughout the whole book, Katniss just keeps getting put back into the hospital over and over and over again. Also, there were too many deaths, that were unnecessary. Dare I mention a special little girl. At the end, you are still left with too many questions to count. Why is that necessary? So much for Suzanne Collins being my favorite author. I was depressed for days after reading this. So much that I couldn't get on here to write the review. Well, now I am. I have so many mixed feelings about this book that I have no idea what to do with them. If you read the first two, and not yet the third, I have a piece of advice for you. Either, just don't ruin what you have read and don't read the third at all, or just read up to the last four chapters. Don't ruin the awesomest books ever just to find out what happens in the end! Who wants to read about Katniss's "Happily Ever After" when its so obvious that her heart is ruined from everything? I wish I didn't.
