by Suzanne Collins
Synopsis:
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has
survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she's made it out of
the bloody arena alive, she's still not safe. The Capitol is angry.
The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the
unrest? Katniss. And what's worse, President Snow has made it clear
that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss's family, not her
friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this
thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins's groundbreaking The
Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about
books of the year.
Review:
What happened?!? Was this book written
by a completely different author? I whole heartedly believe in
finishing a series to see where it goes. We got so invested in
Katniss and Peeta in the first two books, EVERYONE wants to know what
the outcome is, right? I just don't know why the author took this
book where she did, it is so disappointing.
Against all odds, Katniss and Peeta
have survived two Hunger Games, but now the capitol wants revenge.
With the discovery of District 13, the political and strategic
intrigue increase. Katniss is forced to take a role of leadership in
the district's rebellion against the capitol, but she is so damaged
and traumatized from the Hunger Games that she can barely function.
Peeta is injured so severely in the second Hunger Games as well and
it is painful and heartbreaking to watch two people who have survived
so much, be in so much pain.
I won't tell you how it ends, but I
will tell you how it made me feel. I felt compelled to read the
conclusion to this series, but this book was so dark and depressing
that I just felt sad and somewhat sick. Peeta's problems are tragic
yet somewhat understandable, but watching Katniss complete the
downward emotional spiral she was in is just heartbreaking.
I didn't want my kid's to read this
one, but I understood that when you get invested in a series, you
need closure. So I warned them ahead of time how dark and depressing
it was. We all finished it, but none of us liked it. It almost feels
like a betrayal by the author to take these characters' lives where
she did.
I don't recommend this book, but I
appreciate the need to read it. I didn't write it, but somehow I feel
a need to apologize for it, so “Sorry in advance.”
