Mockingjay

Mockingjay                                            by Suzanne Collins

What it is about...

This title completes the trilogy of The Hunger Games. Katniss is the symbol of the revolution as the Mockingjay. She has been rescued and she is now a pawn in the games that adults play. She still is in a quandry about who she wants, the guys have it figured out before she does. The story gets tied up, there are no loose ends and well I won't say too much more about the ending. If you have read the other two you should finish the series.

What I thought...

Thank God it is over! I know, brutal honesty.  I really do not like the Katniss character. She uses Gale and Peeta to serve her ego. Life is hard but she just whines about everything. I do not see her  as really sacrificing herself. Sometimes you just need to tow the line and shut up about your personal angst. Katniss does, however, exhibit some personal strength toward the end of the novel, so she is partially redeemed.

I know many of you feel differently but I don't see her  as confused or a victim all I see is the Katniss pity party.
