really liked it

This book is a page turner; the revolution is in full swing. Katniss must accept the responsibility of becoming the Mockingjay, the symbol of the revelation. The main problem I have with this book is similar to the first book. Many of the battle scenes do not make sense to me. They are as confused as Katniss' mental state. As interesting as the book was to read, I just could not give it 5 stars simply for the confusion of so many of the scenes. Other thing that do not make sense is the rebels are using machine guns on the hover crafts but it is not till Gale and Katness with bow and arrows (exploding arrows) start shooting the things down that they start to do any damage. How do you miss with a machine gun? Apart from this moment, Katniss is pretty inept in most of the battles, a bit disappointing. There are many twists and turns, and everyone has their agenda. These keep things interesting. The thing the author got right is Katniss herself. She is forced to grow up and harden herself to the world, but her emotions have not quite caught up. The good thing about this is that there is a definitive ending.

Greg Khurram, agreed, Collins strength isn't battle scenes, as they were confusing to me, and repetitive. But I enjoyed all the surprises. But not the final massacre, that was completely unnecessary.


Khurram Greg completely agree


Rachel Aranda A fair critique on Collins’s writing, Khurram. I just have one final question: are you Team Gale or Team Peeta? 😜


Khurram I thought Gale was a better match for her all the way till the end, but I definitely think Peers was the better choice. You?


Tammy @rachel Team Peeta for me!


Khurram Peeta


Rachel Aranda Both guys are great but it was always Peeta for me.


Khurram He is the better choice.


matisenko Its very stupid book. Really


matisenko I read this book in Polish Version.


matisenko The Hungry Games translate in polish : Igrzyska śmierci


Khurram I never understood the hupe behind this series.


Carlos(everybody STAY) I really enjoyed reading this book AND you're review. While this book wasn't as good as Catching Fire, it still was a good book. Keep up the good work. Also, we're friends on goodreads.


Khurram That we are Aiden, always great to hear from you. Thanks again.
