i finished it today and loved it but too many people died that shouldn't have =(
OMG !!!! I WICKED LOVED THAT BOOK !!! THIS IS LIKE THE BEST SERIES IVE EVA READ !!!! sorry just had to get that out there HAHAHA LOLZ !! i was totally upset that Finnick died but jumped for joy when Coin died. And Prim ????? why ??? it kind of just defeated the purpose of Katniss saving her life when she took her place in the first hunger games. But... i am sooooo happy that Peeta and Katniss will live happily together. that made me feel SOOOOOO HAPPY !!!!! and i have to admit.. i agree with Abigal, Hunger Games lover forever, and Egypt Rai !!
P.S.S I could not agree more with Egypt Rai!
P.S. RIP Rue, Prim, Boggs, Cinna, Finnick, Madge, Mags, and all the rest who did not deserve to loose their lives
I JUST finished reading Mockingjay and I'm just... in shock... I mean, all my favorite characters died! OK, not ALLLL... BUT A LOT!!!! I'm still not over Rue's death in the first book... I listened to "Rue's Lullaby" on Youtube and I started crying :,( And I loved Prim like she was my own sister!!! I mean it was so horrible when Rue died, and then Katniss was talking about how she will still live on through Prim, AND THEN PRIM DIED!!!! I couldn't stand it!!! D,: And I already miss Gale so much! I need to know what happened to him!!! And even Haymitch! I used to have this burning hatred for Haymitch, but somewhere in the second book, I think when he and Katniss got drunk together, I fell in love with their amazing, unique relationship. It was like they loved each other and felt like family and would do anything for each other, yet they had some kind of silent agreement that they would "hate" each other. I loved how well they knew each other because of everything they've been through too. And now Haymitch is just GONE! And Katniss doesn't even seem to care! Boggs also didn't deserve to die but at least that death was tolerable. I felt like it was kind of expected because of the fact that he was fighting in war. Finnick, on the other hand, had a purpose for life! When he died, I was so upset! I wasn't sure Annie could survive! I'm so proud of her for carrying on with her life and keeping herself under control :) On the subject of Peeta never being the same, I feel like he never did return to his old self. He's almost there, miraculously, but it still feels like he's just not exactly the innocent, gentle Peeta I fell in love with in the first book... I miss him :/ But I am glad he and Katniss ended up together because I thought he was the best match for her :) I feel bad for Gale... I'm pretty sure he still thinks Katniss was only going to end up with the guy she "couldn't survive without," not the one she was in love with. He probably feels like she can survive without him and that's why he hasn't contacted her... And Katniss doesn't seem to have made any efforts to contact him so that probably just reinforces his ideas :( Makes me sad... I do think it's horrible and upsetting how Katniss kind of lost her mind, but I don't blame her... After all she's been through... Ug. Overall, sad book, but also one of the best I have ever read in my entire life. I will never forget it. Hunger Games Lover Forever
I agree with viddy
Throughout the book, I wasn't even sure what I thought of it. Right from the beginning, it was quite depressing and moody, and Katniss was totally changed from the person that she was in the previous two books. I started the book rooting for Gale as Katniss' choice, but was soon turned off from him, but not converted to Peeta either. At the end, Katniss and Gale would never had made it. He was so hard and brutal, and Katniss was done with death, war and pain, she'd had enough. She needed someone to support her, but also for her to support, since Gale told the truth when he told Katniss that she only kissed him because he was in pain. I realized after Gale and Katniss' completely emotionless kissing scene partway through the book that he really wasn't the guy for her. You realize that Katniss and Peeta will be together because there isn't another option, really. At that point, Collins wasn't exactly going to introduce another guy for Katniss. So of course Katniss and Peeta end up together, wounded by the games and the war, in what seems like survival mode, rather than a 'happily ever after'. And of course, eventually, they had children, nameless children to boot. I was very saddened by the death of Prim; the whole series is begun because Katniss volunteers for Prim to keep her safe from The Hunger Games, and in the end, she dies anyway. There were so terribly many deaths of people that Katniss cared about, it was completely reasonable for her to basically dive off the deep end twice, but hardly encouraging as your heroine walks about in a pain and drug induced haze. The lack of an ending between Katniss and Gale, as well as Katniss and her mother was unsatisfying. They needed to be put to rest, and in the optimistic view that most readers would have for her, hopefully be reconciled with them at the end. But there was nothing about Gale and Katniss' mother, except that they weren't around, they had left and continued their lives elsewhere. I wasn't terribly satisfied by the epilogue either, it seemed very short and rushed. As if Collins had to end it somehow positively after so many chapters upon chapters of gruesome death and war, so she added a couple of pages to make her editors, and hopefully her readers happy. Only the hasty epilogue does the opposite, it makes the reader feel incomplete and unfinished, when the point of an epilogue is to wrap up any last loose ends, tuck in the covers and give one last goodnight kiss before the finish. All in all, the book did little more for me than end a wonderful trilogy awkwardly, and leave the reader rather unsatisfied.
The book was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I was so mad when Prim died that was horrible:( :( :( :( :( I thought I was going to die when Gale moves to distric two and they never speak again:( arrrggg The epilouge was the stupidest page and a half I ever read I was like really suzanne you going to kill off like 20 important people in the book then your going to say happily ever after then make Katniss a mom and an old one at that and your not going to even give us the kids names. What the CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it was great, but I am STRICTLY for Katniss ending up with Gale, so when she ended up with Peeta, I cried for about two hours after reading it and am still depressed. =( Oh, and hello, are we not totally supposed to fall in love with Finnick during this book?! And then he dies?!?!?! And PRIM?!
I cried through have the friggin book.
I'm just going to go on pretending she chose Gale.
Not as good as the other novels. I wanted more from Katniss, I wanted her to be someone you looked up to in the novel, someone to admire. Instead I felt that we were either supposed to just pitty her.
And then theres the fact that she doesnt end up with Gale. Enough said.
It was an amazing piece of literature. I loved it. It was sad that Prim and Finnick were killed but those deaths seemed nessasary to protray the tragedy of war. Just because they were brutal doesn't mean people should hate the book. It makes you think and thats what is important.
I find the ending too happy. Peeta ended up with katniss(who deserved better then him), they all lived happily ever after Blah blah blah.It was far from perfect. Everyone knew there would be Katniss-Peeta babies.It did not live up to my expectations. Gale is not a loser by the way the only loser is Peeta. HaHa Screw you Peeta.
i really loved it, but i hate suzanne collins for killing prim and finnick, there was no reason for them to die, especially prim...... but in the end i hate collins for killing them. i wish she would have said the names of katniss's children. i also feel like collins just brushed through the epilogue. there were way to many deaths i think and the fact that she never sees gale , haymitch, or her mom again is really stupid. i also dont think peeta really turned into himself again i think he just believed everyone else that he loved katniss, he might have half loved her but not all the way like in the first book. i wish there would be a nother book, but just like the underland chronicles collins ruins the end.
Gale! why did he leave her?! she deserves gale!
I for one really liked Mockingjay but at the same time I despised it. I guess I just wasn't expecting Prim to die. It hurts to even think about her now! I know it's just a book but the characters seemed so real and I grew to love them and they just...died. Finnick's death upset me but Prim's more. I also didn't like that at th end Gale and Katniss just never talked anymore. I was team Peeta from the start but it felt wrong that Gale just went away like that after so many years of friendship with Katniss. Did he do it because he felt responsible for Prim's death? It was a tragic story even though Katniss had her little form of happy ending with Peeta. But I guess a depressing conclusion is what you get when you read a story with suck horrors and strocious things in it. Other than those two things I loved the book but I just wish the ending were more descriptive. I'd like to know a little more about what exactly happened post war.
boohoo.. no more hunger games series to look forward to.. not enough peeta... not enough peeta and katniss..
I was so disappointed that Suzanne Collins did not put more about Katniss and Peeta being together! There was like nothing about them being together until the last page and the epilogue :( We don't know like anything about their relationship.
Suzanne Collins REALLY disappointed me with that!!!
up until the last five pages you still weren't sure who Katniss would end up with :(
HaHa I love Peeta too!
I bet Gale cries himself to sleep @ night because nobody likes him! HaHa that loser!
I LOVE PEETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Peeta is SOOO awesome and sweet!!! Katniss is pretty selfish though.
Anyway I love Peeta sooooo much!!!!!!!!! Team Peeta Forever!!!!!!!!!! Long Live Peeta!!!!!!!!!!
Katniss + Peeta Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I Liked it. Although they really should have given u more info on wat happened 2 some of the other main characters
I LOVE Peeta so thats a huge reason why I liked the ending
Okay, so I am so glad there are people who agree with me about this book, everyone I talk to thinks its sooo amazing but me, I thought it was good, mostly because its part of the trilogy. I really was mostly dissapionted because it was what I wanted it to be, but not at the same time. I was happy she ended up with Peeta but I hated the whole ending with Gale, when the last thing he says is like how her family is all he had going for him,and then he is gone, like they were such close friends, it just can't stop like that? I was sad because I found she didn't really love Peeta in this book, there was no real romance, it made me happy where Peeta goes do you love me real or not real? and Katniss says real, but other than that I felt like Katniss didn't care..The ending went way to quick for me, and I found myself pretty depressed after reading the book, because I always loved Prim and in this book I grew to LOVE Finnick and Boggs...why did they all have to die?? I also thought the part about Peeta being hijacked was avoidable, because seriously I pretty much cried the whole entire book long..and I had to take breaks just to keep myself calm...I love the first two books but..now I just pretend there was no third book and make it up on my own:P I still feel like I had to read it but it left me feeling pretty sad :(
i liked it :)
but the ending wasn't as good as i expected. and there wasn't a lot of peeta in it :(
i wish she can make mockingly in like peetas perspective haha :)
I felt really disappointed by the book. The special feeling which had carried all of the characters through the first two books just vanished without real cause. Prim's death didn't give the book depth, only sadness to layer the tone of depression. Katniss going crazy didn't really help either.Towards the end of the book I kept waiting for the metaphorical rose to climb out of the ashes, but it never happened.
I thought Mockingjay was AMAZING!!!! I mean, it couldn't have been like the others because they needed a war to bring down the capitol. But I cried soooo much at the end, I mean, did they really have to kill Finnick and Prim?? In Catching Fire at first I hated Finnick Odair. But at the end of it, I realized that he was protecting Peeta and Katniss, and that he had such a deep love for Annie that its hard to hate him. In Mockingjay Finnick just got nicer and nicer. But then, she just kills him off. After everything was going well for him, he just dies and Katniss doesn't even talk about him at the end. Except for when she puts his sea green eyes in the memory book. Then, I completly lost it when it says that Finnick and Annie have a newborn son. I see now that Prim kind of had to die for Katniss to kill Coin. Without Katniss killing Coin, I believe history would have repeated itself. And what about Johanna and Haymitch?? What happens to them?? Oh well, I guess I'll have to make something up in my head. I don't care about Gale anymore, he turned into a jerk in mockingjay. He was always fighting with Katniss and he never stood up for what she believed in. I still loved mockingjay, but it was just too sad!!!
Knew who she was really gonna shoot from the beginning kept dragging on didn't get to the point prim was the whole reason she went into the games so why does she die? defeats the whole purpose of the books all the wrong people die she should of picked gale he just went away and never came back why have him in the book if nothing was really gonna happen why have peeta all weird he was like a freak and she was like i love u and im like peetas sooo annoying he supposudly luvd her from the start what a stalker
also, anyone who said that too many people died
just think, its a war, so its expected
not that that makes it enjoyable
but just letting you know
wasnt up to the standard of catching fire let alone the brilliance of the hunger games
also, i was strongly team peeta (from the first moment we met him) but when i found out gale had gone to 2 i changed to be a team gale. peeta annoyed me soooooooooo much in the last book
also prim - katniss wasnt as sad as she should have been
i mean i think we all knew prim would die (its a war, people, and the loved ones of main characters always go :( ) but katniss just gets angry. collins rushed the end so we miss alot of katniss' recovery from all the deaths that were "caused by her"
but it was still a great (as in well written) book
suzanne collins has a beautiful writing style but sadly, she could have done more with the story that what happened
but having said all that
i was crying the whole way through
and laughing
and scrunching up the pages just cause i couldnt turn them quick enought
and so i finished in 5hrs
but still
GRRR
i wanted more from it
ALSO Madge is mentioned twice ONLY TWICE in the whole book
WHAT MADE HER SO UNIMPORTANT?
okay ill stop now
Well it was totally awesome like most people said. I just think she should not have rushed through the end. I hated the end it was terrible! I mean she didn't have to rush, i had to go back and read A LOT because i didn't get it. I mean, the book was AMAZING! But i hated the ending.
OH! and, Alyssa... I COMPLETELY agree with everything you said:)
AHH!! I wish there was something between It was good! and PERFECT! because thats where I am. I thought the book was fabulous! BUT, i thought the end could have been way better. It almost seemed like she was just sick of writing and wanted it to end (which im sure is not the case...but it could have been better!!) I didnt like how she was just like "and then i choose Peeta and i never talk to Gale again." the end. She could have given us more of a story as to why she chose Peeta and what happened to Gale. Of couse Peeta was the right choice;) But I still would have liked to know what happened to Gale.
I have to say, this book was the most epic of them all. My favorite still remains Catching Fire, but Mockingjay is a close second. I cried a good ten times during this book due to Peeta, and the deaths of Boggs, Prim, and Finnick. I thought the ending was a bit like the Harry Potter ending...but I'm SOOOOO glad Peeta and Katniss ended up together
ps. i hatef wen they decided to have the hunger games again and wen peeta was hijacked aww
katniss changed gale changed peeta changed finnick died prim died cinna died avox girl died it as a let down i didnt even no wen peoplr died they were like oh and he died but thats it i was dissapointed
And katniss was never the same either....
she was definitely mentally handicapped. and i mean, i guess after all those deaths and drama and tragedies.... it was understandable but i expected peeta to bring her back again... favorite part in the book was definitely when peeta said "you love me. real or not real?" and she said "real" I cried.
also when she gave the speech after the hospital is bombed... I got chills.
Anyone else experience this?
or am i like waaaaayyyyy to obsessed like i said before? lol... just curious.
I loooovvvveddddd the book. But i was kind of disappointed. Part of it was probably because i didnt want it to end! For the entire first half of the book, all I kept thinking was "Get Peeta back. Please get him back!" but when he finally did come back... I kinda wished he hadnt have. I dont no... I wanted to see the romance. Thats like the entire reason i liked him! I still love Peeta... but its not the same. Prim and finnicks deaths were completely UNNECESSARY! especially after finnick had finally gotten annie back. I cant say how many times i cried. I am waaaayyyy too attached to these books. The epilogue was cute with their kids and all. But it leaves a lot hanging... does she EVER talk to gale again? or does she still blame him for prims death? what about haymitch? and ow does her mom hold up? idk... but it keeps me up at night. i still think suzanne collins is an AWESOME writer, but this was definitely the worst in the series... :(
still voted perfect tho! :D
I hated the ending.... serously! I mean Gale and Katniss were like the closest.... and they were best friends AND hunting partners.... and he wasn't like touchy or anything..... they like took it slowly and stuff.... then see marries PEETA! serously...
I think that the deaths were very sad but they made katniss stronger. Without the death of prim she might not have shot coin and the terrible cycle of the hunger games may have continued by having one last hunger games. I do admit the book made me cry but it also taught me that no matter what happens life still goes on. And the death of madge showed that even those of power no matter how little are not exempt from tradigy. So overall it was a great book. It even made me laugh once in a while. I think that Finnik brough a great life to the story with his easy going sexyness. And his death showed me that a single person can brigten a life but a single death can leave one in a griving darkness forever and that we should all try to brighten a life.
I thought it was wonderful and it left alot to think about in the end. i definatly like peeta for her lover because he truely saved her life even though i feel sorry for gale. The deaths were perfectly timed and show the fragility of the human life and how you should cherisch the ones we love because anything can happen.
Okay, I absoluely loved this book because, hello, its in the Hunger Games Series. But I also hated it at times because of how many people Suzanne Collins killed off. Some parts were quite depressing, and there was no need for Finnick, Prim, Madge, Cinna, or Portia to die. I actually cried in the end, realizing how everyones lives are different now, and how Katniss and Peeta will never be the same again. I was mad that they never mentioned Gale or Katniss' mom again, mostly cause I was always on Gale's side. The ending was a bit predictable, everyone knew she was going to pick Peeta in the end, and that Gale wouldn't really be part of her life anymore. I found it sad that once they started on the block in the capitol raid, people started dying, and you just know that so many people are also going to die. Katniss was alot weaker in Mockingjay than she was in the first two books, and it seemed like she had sort of become the person she never wanted to become. She never wanted anyone to control her and make decisions for her, and thats exactly what President Coin and everyone else did for. Katniss was more a pawn in this book than any of the others in the way that she sat down and let everyone make the decisions, while everyone else, including Gale, were risking their lives to keep her alive.
Overall, very good book, very sad and depressing, I didnt like the Finnick, Prim, and SO many others died, but the Hunger Games is my favourite series, and im pretty sure it always will be ! :)
I was dissapointed. The characters were so... 2 dimensional. Finnick and Boggs were killed off so easily and Katniss didn't even care! Madge, the whole reason that the Mockingjay exists, was killed do easily, was barely mentioned until the very end. And even then, Katniss didn't care that much. We watched some characters do a total 180. Gale went from heated with passion of hating the captial and loving Katniss to a cold-hearted killer. Who killed chidren. Peeta, my favorite character, wasnt even present until halfway through the book, and then, he was a psycho maniac intent on killing the girl he loved. I mean, I get that he was hijacked and all, but the ending was so rushed that we didnt get to see Katniss and Peeta's relationship develop again. Their relationship was a key part of the book, and it was just thrown away! Then we never know if he gets better, if he ever gets those memories of Katniss back or if they re-started their relationship from scratch. And does Katniss ever talk to her mom or Gale again???? Her mother and her best friend???? And what happens to Haymitch? Do they ever see him again? The ending was just too rushed! And I also don't understand why shallow people like Plutarch were rebels at all! He was a Gamemaker, he had everything good for him, so why be a rebel? Because he hated Snow? If that was the case, then all he really wanted was a new president, not a new government. It seems like most of the book was focused on war and gore, and Katniss being so sad and empty. I miss the determined Katniss from the other two books. All in all, it was OK, but I'm quite unsatisfied.
It's strange... can you hate and love something at the same time? Then these are my feelings for Mockingjay. Killing Prim was just too cruel! I mean, to save her little sister's life was the only reason for Katniss to enter the arena... and then she just blows off? No good-bye, like with Rue? And in some ways I disliked how Katniss develops throughout the book. How she goes just more and more insane. Yeah, I know it's incredibly hard for her, but still... :(
OF COURSE it was epic! But too sad... I've got to read The Hunger Games now to make myself believe Cinna and Prim are still alive, District 12 still exists and the world is still "okay", if one can say so... Really hard on my weak nerves...^^'
I absolutly loved it!!! I was not expecting alot of those things to happen. I was quite shocked when peeta strangled katniss!!!! There are also somethings i didnt like. Katniss went crazy too many times. But i probibally would too if i was in her situation. I mean come on, wouldnt you? If everyone was releying on you to save panem and didnt know what to do, i would have gone mad! But i absolutly loved the ending! It was perfect! I know some people hated the ending because it didnt tell about what happened to the others. Well, if you just read the last chapter right, YOU WOULD KNOW!!! I mean, the epilouge at the end doesnt say anything about them because its in the future with her and peetas kids. Not them. Sure, i wish she would have said something about them but there are explinations. Gale i s in district 2, her mom is in 4 at a hospital, and haymitch it somewhere. Noone knows ) But overall, im happy the way it ended. Im not left confused like other people on here who say "what happened???" If you would just slow down, you would kinow what happend and you wouldnt hate the book. But to me, it was the best way it coudl of ended =) I loved it!!!!
it was kinda disappointing.. too little of the romance between Peeta, Katniss and Gale.. and i don't like the fact that Katniss and Peeta are never going to be the same again.. a HAPPY ending was what i expected.. why make Finnick (Annie!! :'((( ) and Prim DIE? what happened to Johanna? Katniss's mum? Haymitch? GALE? too much war, too little human interactions and relationships.. plus i felt too many NEW and insignificant characters were introduced.. i miss the simplicity and innocence from the first two books.. way too complicated.. i think i need to reread Mockingjay a few times more.. still i LOVED the first 2 books, especially Catching Fire! cos of all the familiar characters in it.. hunger games FTW!
I just looked back in the book, and I think I might be right. Do you remember how peeta says all the fake memories are shiny? If you look back at the story there are so many parts describing bright, colorful or shiny light. for example: page 355. shes talking to president snow in his room – which didn’t make much sense because he was a prisoner – it says “In the bright light… his snake eyes shine bright and cold.”
Also when the parachutes fall, the words bright and silver must have been used three times in one paragraphs. Collins is too brilliant of an author to do that.
The reason why boggs backs up into the pod is because hes looking for the right ‘light’. When hes transfering security clearance to Katniss, a green shaft of light bursts out of the Holo and illuminates his face.
When her and gale are trying to get into the center of the capitol, a random girl with a bright yellow jacket catches katniss’ eye. the girl dies but katniss is still transfixed with her shiny jacket. everyones dying so why would katniss care about a random girl? everything is written for a person. collins wrote this in to drop clues.
finally, in the end katniss makes a book of memories because she says she cant trust her memory. she doesnt no whats real and whats not. and the game she plays, listing all the good things people do. its like the game peeta has to play, real or not real? this is the game shes playing and the hidden message in the line, but there are much worse games to play. Shes not just hinting at the hunger games
I liked the book up until the last fifty pages. I feel it left way too many questions unanswered. I thought it would go into the war that destroyed the present world and set up the districts and capitol.
Also, this is probably just me wanting another book to come out, and a different ending, but I was thinking maybe Katniss was highjacked at the end when she went in and talked to president snow. I know its out in left field but a couple things let me to think this.
snow could have changed her memory about a few things. he wanted Katniss to kill snow so he makes her think boggs said to not trust them when he died. also i think prim may have not died. one because, it never said it was her. it only discribed her. it may have just been a little girl but snow changed her memory to think it was her sister. prims death was completely pointless. snow does all these things to destroy katniss.
another thing that was strange was that snow was held captive in his room. why would that be his prison?
if this highjacking idea is true… i believe she makes up the future world. one because she didnt give her children names. she calls them boy and girl. every character besides her and peeta disappears. i dont believe collins would do this ending unless she only had five minutes to write it. its way too convienient. snow creates this world in katniss’s mind.
if a fourth book comes out it will start with her waking up back in reality, confused.
hopefully im right because i love these books, i want more and i wasnt satisfied with the ending
it was amazing no lie!!!!!!!!!!! but i was like COMPLETELY depressed after boggs died.... i really like boggs. but when FINNICK DIED?! OMG i was like CRYING. and then PRIM died and i was ok WAY to many deaths. i like the fact that effie came back... but cinna dies. i mean come on. SERIOUSLY?! anyway... i was mad at the end cuz im team gale and i wanna know her kids names. to many deaths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was sad when peeta came back.... but i hate how they end catching fire and mockingjay with her in a hospital and then they just like explain everything that happened when she was in the hospital in one paragraph. that pisses me off. and how she tries to kill herself just made it worse. but im happy johanna didnt die. and i hate plutarch and coin. EVILLLLLLLL. anyways, over all GREAT BOOK. just minor things like to depressing and stuff. but i still cant get over the fact that everythings so goo din the end and how peeta gets like better. thats annoying. and how PRIM dies. i mean how can you kill off a character like PRIM?! its stupid. i was like crying at the end cuz everyone just like dies! and i dont even LIKE katniss so i was really pissed off at the end cuz she had kids and had peta and was happy cuz after all she did even though she freed panem but STILL. and i HATE how gale lives in district 2 now. i lied it though. a lot. but... still
I LOVE the way the the Hunger Games series ended. It suited the theme and style of the books perfectly. These books are all about war and violence and the effect that they can have on people and I think that the ending portrayed that very well. The ending was realistic. Would you be able to be blissfully happy after all that Katniss went through? I think not. Hunger Games FTW.
I liked/loved it. I liked it cuz it was the third book in the series but I hated it cuz it was way too depressing and all about her helping the war. No personal moments. And I hated how peter got hijacked cuz we all knew he would never be the same again. So even if she ended up marrying him later on, which I always hoped, he didn't have any of the memories from the days in the cave or loving her or the hunger games or home. So she was practically marrying some new guy. She sounded depressed at the end too. And they didn't mention haymitch or gale or the mom. I really like haymitch and they didn't even mention him. And he didn't even get a happy ending. I wish he could have fallen in love with someone in the end. But he just drank the rest of his life. So even though in the end they were safe and peter and katniss were together, their lives were depressing and boring. Did not like at all.
I like the book but I absoutely hated the ending. I think the reason I hated the ending so much was beause I am a big fan for gale and it just seemed like she didnt care about him anymore after and she just dumped him and never thought twice about it i was so ready for Katniss to decide she loved gale and then she couldnt which made me so mad and she never talked to him again i mean who would do that even if she couldnt love him she could still be friends i mean you dont just ditch your best friend and i understand that she thought it was his bomb idea and all but i was soooo mad bc he wasnt the one who droped the bomb it was just his idea it wasnt suppose to kill her sister when he thought of it and i was like nooooo bc i couldnt believe she couldnt forgive him and then when finnick died i was practically crying i mean why him he just got married and he finnally got annie back it just doesnt seem fair and then prim i mean she just just a little kid trying to help why did she have to die she didnt do anything wrong it just messed up katniss so she couldnt even love gale and then she had to marry peeta!!! i dont know why but i absolutely hate peeta i mean why did she have to end up with him why not gale why couldnt peeta have just died in the hunger games !!! So yea i thought the book was absolutely great ... until the ending when it all got.screwed up and she never saw gale again
ok so i just finished mockingjay. i wanna cry. i mean, the book was so good, but it wasnt. it lived up to my expectations but it didnt. it could have been a tiny bit happier. and katniss went crazy to many times. shes just way to hard on herself. and there were to many unneeded deaths. i didnt even realize it at first that finnick was dead. but later it hit me and i stopped reading for a whole minute. WHY? and then prim dies and it suddenly seemed pointless that the character who was practically responsible for the plot of the entire series died off. i also would have liked it if the capitol hunger games were discribed, to have known the wherabouts of gale, her mom, and especially haymitch cuz he rocks. and i would have loved it if gale later came back with a wife and kids and the two families were friends. i would have liked it if collins had written more about what life in panem was like after the war, and how it recovered. ok so enough complaining, because i do have some good things to say. i liked the period in which katniss got all the districts to ally with eachother. and i loved how she and peeta ended up together, cuz im team peeta. i like how they have kids. that ending really fixed up the book for me, becuz i knew K would end up with P all along. i worship this series, and i overall loved it.
I loved the part where Peeta goes do you love me real or not real? and Katniss says real.:) At some parts there were too many boring parts though. I read this book in 2 days!! I would finish it in 1 but I was too tired:( There were defintely too many deaths. I wish it had more dialogue and it was a bit more happier. It made me depressed!!haha But overall its good! Gale should not have just forgot about Katniss and work in District 2!! He could at least died as a hero or something!!! OMG Suzanne Collins should wirte a book on Peetas view or Gales view of the story!!! Cannot wait til the movies come out!!!
I loved it. It was a major depart from the first two books, but how could it not. They're in a war, there will be no arena. I did find it frustrating that Katniss was always kept under wraps. Of course, maybe that's how we were supposed to feel. Frustrated as Katniss would have in that situation. I do think Finnick's death was brushed over.Didn't see that one coming. Prim's death was very tragic. She was the whole reason Katniss was put in the games in the first place. Only to have her killed by a rebel command. I was distraut at Katniss agreeing to another games, only to find that she was appeasing Coin to later kill her. Although incedibly sad, I loved in none the less.
Hey i'm sorry prim shouldnt have died if it was anyone it should have been peeta because i think Katniss would be better with gale and i would have loved it if gale eventualy moved back to 12 and mended their friendship also why why why the ending is so predictable and again why the book is so predictable i still liked im obsessed but WHY!!!
WOW should be an option.....
or didnt expect that
BTW TEEEEAM GALE!!!
It was a great book.... Just....Too depressing...i mean...Finnink shouldn't have died, or Prim, and Boggs....well, i think it made it that much ore interesting considering she had to get there herself (with the team of course, but...most of them died). ONe thing i didn't like was how she was so mentally weak. I missed that determination and drive she had before in the first Hunger Games. She always got so close..but never made it. And i cried most of the book. I loved and hated how Peeta was when he came back. But it also gave it kind of, an edge. Like he would never love her again, but you knew that you wouldn't be able to like it if he didn't. But i wish they talked about Haymitch and Gale and her mother at the end aswell, like, did her best friend just abandon her? Along with her mentor? And her mother? Oh well, ending, satisifing, but the book was all and all great!
I liked the book, but at the same time, I hated it. I was glued to that book, but it made me sad reading it. The whole thing seemed so depressing. I do like the ending though, where Peeta asks if she loves him. But while the ending was happy, it still felt sad at the same time. I admit I tried to cry in the end, but I was too depressed to do so. I honestly like the first two books better, especially because of the romance. I'm not sure if I'll ever pick up the third book again, maybe to read the happy yet sad ending, but I know I'll forever be glued to the first two books. I'm also happy that Katniss chose Peeta :) Team Peeta!
the book was amazingly awesome. Although prim and finnick and boggs didnt deserve to dieit was still good. im a huge fan of this serious. i've read Hunger Games 10 times: no lie, i've read Catching Fire 5 times: also no lie. i've read Mocking Jay only once beacsue i got it the day it came out. i cant wait for the movies. TEAM PEETA !! :D
this book was amazing. and if anyone else says that they didnt think katniss was the same in the beginning, well no da! she watced her little sister Prim catch on fire, she sees Finnick get his head ripped off, she sees another guy in his crew melt, Peeta tried to kill her and left Katniss with bruises on her neck. and katniss was almost burned to death. so of course she is going to go insane. i would to and im sure all of u guys would.other than the deaths it was amazing. Team Peeta
I hated it.
well, no actually i loved it. But the story sucked. But once, i stopped crying over the ending, i realised how depressing the entire book was. I miss the strong and determined streak that katniss used to have in the other two books, when she wasn't weighed down by sorrow. I miss the subtle humour and sarcasm that was found in plentiful supply before. I miss Finnick. He didn't have to die. And she hardly made a big deal about it :( neither did Prim, Cinna or Madge really. I loved the last line when Peeta asked if she loves him but i wish there was a happy sentiment to relate that to. It just seems finally resolved but still sad. I wish Haymitch had gotten better...or we knew something more about him.
And why did Cinna pick district 12 in the beginning? I never understood.
Most of all though, I miss the deep but joyful and easy relationship between Katniss and Peeta...even if it was partly fake. Now they're so...sad....like they just make it through everyday...
I dunno. Just wish the whole book had been a bit happier. Just a tiny bit. But i know this ending i will probably never forget :)
I'll say it was a good book. There are several things I did not like about it but I went into the book with my own expectations of what should have happened. There were several twists (like the whole Peeta hijacking thing). Very strange and I was afraid he would have never be the same! I hate that Katniss kinda gets put on the way-side. She doesn't rise up to the heroine she was in the previous books! She was just symbol... and always so close to the goal, but never reached it. I do dislike the ending in the respect that Katniss and Peeta seclude themselves... they mention nothing of Gale or Katniss' mother communicate after the return to District 12 (besides the short talk to her mom - If I was a mother I would be worried about my daughter and even if it was difficult I would have checked on her - it seems because she lost Prim, her mother didn't care.) I still would have preferred Gale to die in some heroic way or Haymitch (whom you still know next to nothing about). It was good! I enjoyed it and I am glad that it is over and I will pick it up and reread it probably in a year.
I was really disappointed in the ending of the book :(. The first half of the book (before Peeta came back) I really liked, and it lived up to the expectations I had. But, when Peeta came back deranged (well, hijacked), I knew that things weren't going to be the same, because you knew Peeta would never be like he was before. And I feel that, in the second half of the book, the romance was all but forgotten and death and gore were running the book. And, usually, that wouldn't bother me, but the first two books depended so much on the romance, that it felt wrong to abandon it like that. The end felt rushed and hurried to me. And Collins killed off one of my favorite characters in one sentence (Madge) :(. And I feel that Prim and Finnick had no reason to die, though you could almost tell Finnick or Annie was going to die because they were so happy. :'( And the fact that Collins ruined Katniss and Gale's relationship (whatever it was) was really sad because they had been so close (and that is coming from someone who is Teem Peeta). But the biggest letdown was when they decided to continue the Hunger Games once more, because I felt that it made my favorite characters no better than my least favorite. I was diappointed with the last installment of the trilogy, but I am still in love with the first two books :)
it was amazing... but it was really depressing... i finushed that book feeling aweful! the happy ending.... well it wasnt very happy.. and yea there were alot of deaths... but im almost glad there were... it helps u feel just how aweful the whole situation is..... and what they did to my poor peeta!!! :( i still loved it :D
It was good but I also didn't like the too many deaths and at the end she never talks to her Mom, Haymitch or even Gale!!! It was depressing. I didn't think Finnick or Prim should have died. Can someone please tell me who killed Prim? I didn't understand that part. I did like how she killed Coin though and I was like say no for the hunger games part for the Capitol because history will repeat itself. But overall it was good. Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer!!!
i definetly loved it, but i think they killed off way too many people! and the whole book made me feel really hopeless, i got so into it. and i think katniss like kindof lost her mind, which is sad:( i don't know, i like happy endings (obviously no book has a perfect happy ending and i didn't expect this one to either) but it just made me feel sort of depressed and unsatisfied. it was so kickass when she killed Prezz Coin though!! i'm not gonna lie, it was an amazing book, but it didnt end the way i thought it would

I didn't like it. There were too many deaths, and I don't think they were all necessary. At the end, Katniss didn't seem anything like she was at the beginning of the book, she just seemed crazy. I'm Team Gale, which is probably part of why I didn't like the ending, but she never even talks to Haymitch or her mother or Gale again. We never even find out where Haymitch is. :(
eh. the ending was stupid and there was no twists in the book. i could have guessed it from the start. did not live up to my expectations.
Absolutely Perfect!! I didn't read it, I lived it!
it was ok the deaths were good enough prim and finnick deserved better than boggs
IT WAS EPIC, need i say more?
