Mockingjay

The book that I read was called Mockingjay; the author is Suzanne Collins. The reason that I chose this book was because I was already reading the series. This is the third and last book in the Hunger Games series. The setting takes place when Katniss is in the Quarter Quell and is rescued by the rebels from District 13. The people who rescue her take her back to District 13 and when they get back they tell her that they want her to be their “Mockingjay”, the symbol of the rebellion against the Capitol to keep the revolution in Panem going.
After being rescued from the Quarter Quell by the rebels, Katniss agrees to be the Capitols “Mockingjay”. Then, the rebels make a daring rescue and rescue Peeta and all of the other victors from the Quarter Quell. At a reunion in District 13 Katniss sees Peeta ,and she runs up to him and tries to hug him but he tries to kill her because has been brainwashed and poisoned with Tracker Jacker venom at the Capitol. The rebels take control of all of the Districts and then start targeting the Capitol itself. However an assault on the Capitol goes wrong and Katniss and her team disperse into the Capitol trying to find and kill President Snow. Soon, Katniss is by herself going to Snow’s mansion which is supposed to be open for Capitol children (they are actually intended to be human shields). After, bombs placed in supply packages are dropped to the children and the very shortly, go off. Lots of children are killed including someone very close and loved to Katniss. Later, Snow is tried and fond guilty but tells Katniss that the bombing was ordered by President Coin, not him. When Katniss is about to execute Snow, she realizes that what he said was true and kills Coin instead. Katniss finally returns home and later so does Peeta because he has recovered from his brainwashing.
Two things that I liked about this book is that it really is a good adventure and very well written. One thing that I didn't like about this book is that at times it could be slowly paced and boring but then very quickly gets good again. I would recommend this book to young readers who like a good adventure and have already read the first two books.
