I liked it, but not as much as the first two books. A lot of that is dissatisfaction with the ending...I wasn't anticipating a happy ending, certainly, after all that, but it was even more of a downer than I expected. ( ) Okay, I have a LOT I want to talk about. I don't know if I'll manage to fit everything I want to say into this review, so I'll just try my best. I honestly believe this is an extremely over-hated book. I'm not going to say that it's perfect or that it's even the best book in the series, but there's a lot about it that I absolutely fucking love. I'll start by talking about some of my complaints. One of the weakest aspects of this trilogy is the pacing. Once again, the pacing here is not that great. The long, drawn-out stay in District 13 could have been significantly abbreviated. I'm not saying the characters should have stayed there for a shorter period of time; I'm saying that quite a bit of material could have been cut out to make that section of the story flow better. Another one of my complaints is the massive focus on propaganda shooting under Plutarch Heavensbee. I know a lot of this franchise focuses on putting on a face for the rest of Panem; however, in the first two books, Katniss and Peeta had to do that to survive. Now, they're doing it to give morale to the rebellion. I know these propaganda shots may have helped the war, but there is still a sense of artificialness to the sections involving them, even when the shootings are unscripted. They don't feel real or exciting. They feel hollow, and that is something I do not often accuse these books of being. Let's move on to what I love about this novel. I have stated that things take quite some time to get moving in this story. However, when they do get moving, oh boy. This becomes an intense, action-packed, and thrilling finale to the series. The final third of this story simply does not relent. It is wild, and I love it. In addition, I love how much gray area there is in this book when it comes to morality. At first, it seems that you're supposed to root for everyone in the rebellion because of how evil the Capitol is. However, as the story progresses, and you notice the rebellion doing more and more fucked up shit, you start to wonder if Coin as the new leader of Panem would be just as bad, if not worse, than President Snow and the Capitol. Katniss's ambivalence towards the cause only makes her more likable and relatable. Her final kill being Coin instead of Snow is the perfect decision on Collins' part. Lastly, this book makes me realize how much this series means to me and how entranced I am by it. I've always loved this franchise, but I'm only now starting to realize how enraptured I've become by it. While it has a lot of problems, there's something uniquely attractive about it. It is one of the darkest and most depressing stories ever made. It's not only dark because of all the trauma, death, and destruction Katniss and Peeta have faced over the years, but it's also dark because of the psychological torture they've been put through. By the end of the story, both of them have almost lost the will to live. They've given everything they have to improve the future generations of Panem, resulting in them turning into hollow shells of themselves. Katniss is constantly drugged up, wandering around from place to place, barely doing anything. It's extremely sad. However, Katniss and Peeta do manage to eventually pull themselves back together and slowly start rebuilding their lives. The last 10 pages are probably my favorite ending to any book series I've ever read in my life. They perfectly capture that tragic yet beautiful theme that this trilogy has adopted. Things will never be the same for any of these characters. They're left with physical and mental scars that will last the rest of their lives, but they try to keep themselves going for the sake of everyone else. It is very poetic, and it leaves me emotionally overwhelmed every single time. So, yeah. I'm not saying these books are perfect, but they have given me emotions no other media franchise could possibly replicate. For that, they will always have a special place in my heart, and Suzanne Collins will always be an admirable figure to me. I finished these books. They definitely captured my attention. (I stayed up until something like 4:30a finishing this one... sadly, not an unusual affliction in me.) The morals/big ideas were fairly well thought out and interesting (though some more than others... for instance, the origin of the name "Panem" didn't make much sense; there was no good reason for the government to have chosen it). But I didn't enjoy reading the books at all. The second one in particular felt like a punishment. On just about every page, I asked myself why I was putting myself through it. And, you know, that's exactly how the characters feel, so maybe it was even intentional? The epilogue, again, was philosophically interesting Part of the problem is that I've never been into YA romance. The luuurrrrvvvveee triangle was just a distraction to me; I was only interested in the other plot lines. I didn't particularly care who she ended up with; I didn't really think she needed to end up with either. They needed to back the fuck off and let her work through her shit. I didn't enjoy the books, but I didn't think they were bad, either---thus the rating. They were okay. I would be lying if I said I liked them. I wouldn't discourage others from reading the series. Also, Sam pointed out that in dystopias there's always a conspicuous absence of non-government organizations/charities. Interesting.
Collins is absolutely ruthless in her depictions of war in all its cruelty, violence, and loss, leaving readers, in turn, repulsed, shocked, grieving and, finally, hopeful for the characters they've grown to empathize with and love. Mockingjay is a fitting end to the series that began with The Hunger Games (2008) and Catching Fire (2009) and will have the same lasting resonance as William Golding's Lord of the Flies and Stephen King's The Stand. However, the book is not a stand-alone; readers do need to be familiar with the first two titles in order to appreciate the events and characters in this one. Fans will be happy to hear that Mockingjay is every bit as complex and imaginative as Hunger Games and Catching Fire. This is one YA novel that will leave you thinking about the ramifications of war on society, not just the coming-of-age of a young woman. All in all, Mockingjay confirms what we've suspected already — The Hunger Games isn't just a powerful saga about a unique, memorable hero struggling to do the right thing in the public gaze. It's also an important work of science fiction that everyone should read, because if you don't, you'll be left out of all the best conversations. The novel's biggest surprises are found elsewhere. Hope emerges from despair. Even in a dystopian future, there's a better future. Ingår i serienHungerspelen (3) Ingår iHar bearbetningenStuderas iPriserPrestigefyllda urvalUppmärksammade listor
