Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins

Young Katniss Everdeen has survived the dreaded Hunger Games not once, but twice, but even now she can find no relief. In fact, the dangers seem to be escalating: President Snow has declared an all-out war on Kattnis, her family, her friends, and all the oppressed people of District 12. The thrill-packed final installment of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy will keep young hearts pounding.

Finally after what feels like forever I was able to finish Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I knew that if I just had some time to sit down and read I would read it quickly! Well I had a quiet office on Friday at work and I read the whole thing!!

I loved this book soo much!! I thought it was a wonderful conclusion to an already wonderful series.

Katniss is having to deal with being the rebels Mockingjay and all the while dealing with not knowing what is happening to Peeta who was captured by the Capitol.

The rebels continue to take over the district slowly cutting off the Capitol. Katniss wants to go into battle she wants to kill President Snow.

The rebels are able to rescue Peeta and other captives of the Capitol but he's changed. He's not the same Peeta Kat remembers. The Capitol has brainwashed him to hate her and question all of his memories of her.

So even though she has Peeta back she has to work to regain his trust and help him remember what they shared.


SPOILERS!! DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS BOOK SPOILED FOR YOU!!





So while I did love this book but I have to say throughout the whole series I personally loved Gale more than Peeta. I don't know I guess Gale is more my type than Peeta. So in the end when she chooses Peeta over Gale I was not really surprised but I kind of wish she would have chosen Gale but what can you do?

Also I was super sad Finnick died. I had really liked his character and think maybe he should have had the chance to be happy.

Also OMG I about fainted when Prim (Kat's sister) was killed. I was just completely shocked!!

Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

Well I finally finished reading Catching Fire. I've been having a rough time reading lately. I just have not been able to find the time to read. I used to be able read at work but unfortunately our client base has picked up and I've been working a lot longer so it took me twice as long to read because I've had to read maybe 2 or 3 minutes here and there.

This is the second book in the Hunger Games series. In this we find Katniss Everdeen having won the Hunger Games and is on the victory tour with her fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark. Also with her open defiance of the Capitol by simply trying to save Peeta's life she has become an even bigger pawn in not only the plans of the Capitol but also in the plans of the rebels starting to up rise.

So after going through the victory tour she gets ready for the next Hunger Games and the Quarter Quell (happens every 25 years) and the special circumstances that will come.

Well in a show of force by the Capitol the 75 Year Quarter Quell takes former victors of all districts and uses them as the pool to draw from for that year's tributes. So for District 12 there are only 3 victors. Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch. So Katniss will be going in the ring again to fight for her life and soon Peeta is her partner again.

So in the ring the tributes fight for their lives and in the end Katniss learns in the end that the revolution has begun and she is the most integral part because she's the girl on fire. The symbol of the revolution!!

I loved this book. I've become deeply addicted to the Hunger Games!  I cannot wait to see the first movie and read the last book, Mockingjay. I was going to read it next but decided to through a historical romance in the mix just to shake things up a bit...yeah I'm crazy like that!!

So if you want to read this for yourself just go here -->Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games)
