A review by narcissia
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
5.0
I loved it. I felt the tension throughout the book. It was pain and numbness, and deep sorrows accompanied by small and scattered joys. I read it all in one sitting and, when I was finished, I was exhausted. It is not one of those cheerful reads, so do not expect to experience much happiness during your time reading this book. It is emotional, and the characters are broken. The end leaves the reader sorrowful, but also gives small strings of hope and healing on which to cling.
I admire what Collins did with Mockingjay. Some people may not like this book, because it feels significantly weightier than the previous two. The focus is shifted from surviving the Games to long-term survival on a much larger scale, and thus to the rebellion, which brings to the book all of the troubles of war. I found it to be tragically beautiful and thought provoking.
