Mockingjay


MOCKINGJAY
The book that I read is the last book of The Huner Games series. It's called Mockingjay. The books were written by the amazing author Suzanne Colins. This book is about a young girl tryinging to help win a war against the capitol, by being the Mockingjay. I chose this book because I have read the other two books in the series. Those books, The Hunger Games, and Catching Fire, were so good I had to read this book too.
Katniss Everdeen is a young 17 year old girl who lives in district 13 in the country of Panem. Katniss has just been rescued by the rebels (people against the Capitol), from her 2nd Hunger Games. The rebels brought her to their district, 13. Katniss and her family used to live in district 12. However, while she was in the games the Capitol completly obliterated the district, so it is no more! Not everyone got out in time, but Katniss' family and best friend did, and now they are all living in 13. Thirteen was obliterated over 75 years ago, but people came back and made the secret underground district. The rebels and the Capitol are in a war against each other. The rebels want Katniss to become their Mockingjay. The symbol of the rebels. Katniss doesn't agree right away though. The Capitol and the awful president have done so much horrible things to all of them within the last year. The things that Katniss wants most is for the rebels to win the war, and to personally kill the president. She also, wants to rescue her friend Peeta who is being held captive in the Capitol. However, even though she wants all these things there are many obstacles. The Capitol is much stronger, so the rebels must get ALL the districts on thier side. Also, many other obstacles. So, Katniss agrees to be the Mockingjay, on a few conditions. The most important, that she kills the president. Even though she is now the Mockingjay, she has MANY obstacles to get through before the war is over. You'll have to read the book too find out what happens. If she is allowed to go and fight, if the rebels win, and if she kills the president.
I absolutly LOVED this book! The author does such a good job of writting it. You feel like you are actually in the book. I really liked that. I also liked how it left u in suspense at the end of almost every chapter. However, I didn't like how the book ended it made me mad! I also, didn't like how many people dies it made me sad:(! I personally feel in love with this book and I think that many other people will as well. So, I would definetly recommend this book to anyone, probably 13 and up.
