Incomplete, but still great submitted by marshd on November 2, 2010, 4:07pm A good read, but I found the ending to be a bit lacking. While we find out the fates of Katniss and Peeta, our two main characters, it someone doesn't feel complete, as there are many characters whose endings are not totally explained. The writing feels a bit jumbled, but perhaps it is supposed to play into state-of-mind.

That said, I found the last line of the epilogue to be forced, but fantastic.

Good Ending submitted by jaegerla on January 13, 2011, 1:36pm Their entire situation turns into a convoluted mess, but that's how war is. The ending was just right.

Mockingjay submitted by foxridgect on June 22, 2011, 8:32am It is a good book, but I think that the other books in this series were better.

stupid submitted by tcaldera97 on June 22, 2011, 2:29pm stupid

good submitted by nfrassrand on June 23, 2011, 12:50pm not as good as the other two books but still great to read.

good book submitted by steelersfan1 on June 23, 2011, 9:07pm a lot of action

Surprising Ending submitted by ilm on June 24, 2011, 7:25am This book had a very surprising ending.

exciting? submitted by 15redwings on June 24, 2011, 11:15am the third book was definitely not as exciting and left you with quite a few questions but it was still a really exciting book.

Wrenching submitted by xoxobrenda on June 25, 2011, 7:40pm I absolutely loved the Hunger Games! And I expected SO MUCH from this book. It's a great book in that it's full of action and twists. But since it's the last book in the trilogy, characters...die. (Like how everyone dies in Harry Potter). It's pretty dramatic. So when your favorite characters dies in Mockingjay, it'll wrench your heart apart. :( But still a great read!

it was okay submitted by vmclaugh on June 27, 2011, 9:48am Not my favorite in the series, but I LOOOOOOOOVED the ending

The ending killed me. submitted by miss pyro on June 29, 2011, 1:20pm I hate how it ended, but I see that it's how it was supposed to happen. I still cried when that one person at the end dies. It broke my heart. I don't cry when reading books, so that's saying something. The ending made the entire books done for nothing.

Mockingjay submitted by Pareenaz9 on July 3, 2011, 12:16pm Great book but not as good as the other two

O.K. submitted by pbapat on July 5, 2011, 2:34pm this book was ok. I didn't like it as much as the 1st and 2nd. The last couple of paragraphs were rly touching.

Great, solid ending to the series submitted by ldupuis44 on July 6, 2011, 12:05pm I love this book. It is fast paced and you just can't seem to put it down until you've read it. The characters are engaging and the story is powerful. While it is not as pulling as the first two, it was still great. More importantly, it brought the series to a solid conclusion. It heart wrenching at parts as well.

great!!! submitted by Maria97 on July 6, 2011, 10:45pm Some people don't think it was as good as the first two, but I disagree. When you want to keep the series going, it doesn't matter if it isn't as suspenseful.

Ok??? submitted by joiemma on July 7, 2011, 2:21pm ok

OK... submitted by tree64 on July 7, 2011, 5:44pm This book was good, but not as good as the other two books, partly because it did not have any Hunger Games in it. I also thought that it was kind of confusing, as I had to read it much slower. Overall, it still was a great book, though the ending was pretty disappointing. I was surprised at the ending, because Prim died and Katniss chose Peeta over Gale. I really hope Suzanne Collins will write more books based on the plot of the Hunger Games.

Read this book!!!!! submitted by adipirro on July 8, 2011, 8:15pm Make sure you check out this site for information on the upcoming movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392170/

These books are amazing. I can't decide which one is my favorite, I like them all!!!!!!!!!! Everyone has things I like and don't like about it!

IT's a Great Book submitted by catlover17 on July 13, 2011, 3:26pm This book is really good because it has many unexpected twists and turns. I was really surpised when I found out that Prim died, and that Katniss actually wanted for the Hunger Games to continue. I also was astounded when Katniss chose Peeta over Gale. I actually cried when Prim died.

Mockingjay submitted by slsk on July 13, 2011, 4:00pm So sad, but realistic for a book about a war. For me, it was not as good as the first two (the ending seemed a little rushed to me... like Suzanne Collins could have spent more pages explaining what happened after the war) but still a great ending to an incredible series.

cool submitted by readingking on July 14, 2011, 6:52pm cool

Great submitted by ljq on July 15, 2011, 9:55am Nice ending to pull the triology together

Weak ending to an awesome series submitted by katieh on July 15, 2011, 10:26am I really wanted to like this book. I tried to like this book. Unfortunately, I just couldn't do it. I LOVED the first two books--they were exciting and I really connected to the characters. Mockingjay just made me feel alienated. The book just felt rushed--deaths were glossed over in a sentence and major events happen when Katniss is recovering in a hospital or asleep. The ending was contrived and made it seem like the efforts of the rebels were done in vain. The middle section does have some interesting events and I do like the idea of where Collins was trying to go, but I don't think she succeeded.

Okay submitted by xjasx on July 20, 2011, 3:50pm Honestly, this book kinda made me sad. I expected more out of the author and it just wasnt as good as I thought it would be

Mockingjay submitted by Commander Taffy on July 22, 2011, 9:06am Mockingjay is not as good as the other books, but it is still good.

final book submitted by krishnansuresh on July 27, 2011, 8:59pm last must- read book for hunger games fans. much like Harry potter and the deathly hallows, it is focussed around death and strategy. great conclusion to a great series.

GOOD ENDING submitted by basketcasemom on July 29, 2011, 9:57am Not the usual YA pap where either everything comes out perfect in the end or everyone dies.

A page-turner with value submitted by jtmaxwell on July 30, 2011, 2:51pm I am quite thankful for these books. As with all exciting danger-and-love-packed novels teens everywhere love them - but unlike other page-turners, this series has a great message. The female protagonist is strong, brave, smart, loyal, and scrappy. These books are violent and scary, but I have heard the discussions they provoke by their readers and they are far and away more thoughtful than any discussion I've heard from Twilight. Katniss is a character for girls to look up to, and brings topics from books such as Brave New World to a current, teen level.

Such a great ending to this book and series!

decent submitted by shailu on August 1, 2011, 3:10pm the books before this is muccchhhhh better js.

Wonderful. submitted by 0liviap0pp on August 2, 2011, 2:39pm Ending was a bit strange. I enjoyed the first one the best, but I really liked the suspense and action in this one.

Read the 1st and 2nd only submitted by jkl on August 10, 2011, 12:29pm The 3rd book isn't very good but I really liked the first and second. The ending to the last one was very odd. I wish that it had ended better.

a good ending submitted by ferdoble on August 10, 2011, 5:10pm Just like the other books there are twist witch you might not expect, you might not want to expect. People that you want to play fair don't, that sort of thing. I wont say anymore because you really should read it.

Wile it is a little unexpected it is also a little boring. You got to slog through a lot of crap at the beginning of the book to get to the last 100-150 pages, where things get interesting again.

But I found the end to be incredibly satisfying and wile I think it leaves quite a bit in the air, its still a very good ending.

Of course the first book is the best, the second is 2nd best, and this the last is the worst, but that's mostly because the author uses the same, or a least very similar mechanisms to drive to plot along. Its almost like reading the same book three times except the plot does move along through them all. Also as you go through the series, the main event gets pushed further and further back into the book.

What I was expecting after the first book (really after the first couple of chapters of the first book) was an epic trilogy that I would recommend to everyone unprompted. What I got was a solid 3 books that if someone asks about I'll say they're a fun read, and to go for it.

great submitted by mingtecheng on August 11, 2011, 3:22pm good book

Don't miss this series! submitted by Cherrytreelane on August 15, 2011, 12:51pm Powerful series that draws you in and stays with you long after you've finished it. Explores family relationships, friendships, long-held beliefs in oneself and ones' abilities. Well worth reading!

A poor ending to a good series submitted by eknapp on November 9, 2011, 2:22pm Mockingjay is by far the weakest of the three books. Collins writes emotional reactions extremely well, and she shares George R R Martin's gung ho willingness to sacrifice characters in service to the story.

But her political constructs are absurdly simplistic, her characters' strategic and tactical choices are implausible, and (with one big exception) she telegraphs her plot turns. There was a half-hearted attempt to capture the feel of the first two books by making the Capitol's defense dependent on "pods"--traps like the ones found in her Hunger Games arenas. It came off lame.

Great Ending submitted by glennauerbach on June 17, 2012, 12:07pm I really liked the ending. It was good.

Dissapointing submitted by steven123505 on June 18, 2012, 9:54am I thought this was a terrible end to a great series

Mockingjay submitted by Smiles on June 18, 2012, 10:54am District thirteen is planning to fight against the capitol and they have chosen Katniss to represent them. Will Katniss be able to meet their expectations and become the mockingjay?

Suprising submitted by Smileyfrowns on June 21, 2012, 4:29pm Many twists are in this book

Disappointing end submitted by fizzleskittle on June 23, 2012, 7:43pm I was sucked into the first two books and was excited to read this last book in the series. I was so very disappointed in the ending! It all seemed to wrap up rather fast.

Weak Ending submitted by alumeng.ajl on June 24, 2012, 2:12pm This series got worse as it went along. I began to dislike Katniss. She barely grieved over [spoiler] and if I had accidentally skipped over one sentence, I never would have realized he was dead. It also took me a while to realize that [another spoiler] was dead. I get that Katniss went through a lot in the trilogy, but it doesn't seem right for her to harden so much that she doesn't break down and grieve when her friends die. I did like how the trilogy was ended, though.

best book submitted by sjaworsk on June 25, 2012, 7:28pm this book was so amazing. i have to admit the first two were better and suzanne kinda threw away the story, but i could tell she worked very hard on it and i appreciate what she did for all of us as readers.

good read! submitted by eli7416 on June 25, 2012, 7:53pm I loved the first two books and this book didn't disappoint. The political statements were bold and thought provoking. Good ending!

Thrilling! submitted by kbruey on June 27, 2012, 1:04pm Though not as captivating and popular as the first and second book, Collins once again shows her knack for a great storyline plot combined with fascinating details.

Disappointing submitted by pk on June 28, 2012, 8:40am Disappointing final book in the series. This book was (even more) simplistic in its writing - too much "tell" and not enough "show", as the elementary teachers say. The political intrigue was not handled very well and came off as boring, when it could have been suspenseful and intense. Who's lying? Who's on her side? Who cares? While I usually liked Katniss as a character, the author didn't develop her inner conflict and confusion in an interesting way. The way she had Kat "choose" between Gale and Peeta seemed like a forced plot point - again, not interesting. I only finished it so I would know what happened and that's not a good thing in a book.

A Good Wrap-Up submitted by crazypockets on July 3, 2012, 10:30am I really enjoyed this series. To be honest, I thought this last book dragged a little in the middle, though I can see that the author wanted to get more serious with the war story. She has said that she writes "fiction about war for adolescents," and I think she does an excellent job of it, too. She conveys the devastation and senseless tragedy in a way that I think will hit home with young readers. I did get a little tired with Katniss' seemingly endless series of injuries/recoveries, but I did like how the story ended overall. A good ending to a great series!

Last book to the Hunger Games series submitted by stkloves on July 7, 2012, 5:29pm I enjoyed all 3 books, I felt that the ending was a little rushed, like there was more but it had to be cut so the book wasn't to long. I like them all and thought it was a great series, I really wish there were more but it is what is. I recommend this book, I agree that the first to books are a bit better than this one but I think it is still a good read.

Good submitted by Memoria1224 on July 11, 2012, 4:07pm This book isn't as good as the first and second book. The ending isn't that good either. You should still read it though.

Loved it!!!! submitted by saira29 on July 12, 2012, 7:30am Amazing ending to the trilogy!!!! I recommend this series!

Good Ending submitted by vadnala on July 12, 2012, 8:10am it was a good ending to the series. Watch how Katniss tries to bring down the Capitol as the Mockingjay and bring back Peeta.

okay... submitted by tong on July 13, 2012, 5:41pm definitely not as good as the first. still good to read though!

ending submitted by ftan on July 15, 2012, 12:45pm i didnt like the ending

Disappointing submitted by Jhopson on July 19, 2012, 9:39pm Unfortunately not a great conclusion to this great series. The predictably depressing reality that follows from the world that spawns the hunger games makes this story kind of difficult to get through, at least compared to the first two.

Loved this book submitted by ersmith.maps on July 22, 2012, 6:21pm From what I've heard, people either really love or really hate this book and how the entire series ends. I, personally, fall into the first camp. Yes, I will give it that this book IS really dark and depressing, right up until the last 3 pages or so. But I feel that there is an overall message of hope that is really hard hitting at the very end and just left me bawling my eyes out (which is the mark of a powerful story, in my opinion).

Intreging submitted by titanic524 on July 23, 2012, 9:48am An interesting end to the series, however the third book wraps up the series on a rather depressing note. I feel that the ending is not terrible but it could have been better written.

A bit slow at points... submitted by Annie B. on July 23, 2012, 12:10pm but an okay ending to an AWESOME series.

This is an awesome book. submitted by Dayoung Nam on July 26, 2012, 7:28am The last book of The Hunger Games Triology, and this is the ending of it.
It was amazing so far, but I agree that this book is the most boring one out of the series.
However, it is still amazing and I was very surprised about the idea of hijacked Peeta and
thought I would never, ever think of that kind of punishment for Katniss.
This book is awesome, and I really appreciate the author for writing this
triology.

nice wrap up submitted by unknown on July 26, 2012, 6:21pm This 3rd book of the trilogy was a nice wrap-up. It was closure for the characters

Okay Book submitted by jarroyo on July 29, 2012, 11:01am This book is pretty slow in the beginning. I would have to say out of the 3 books in the trilogy this one is my least favorite (although it is still worth reading if you have read the first 2). Katniss was a bit whiny in the first half of the book. Some things happened that I was not very happy about. I like how at the very end the author goes ahead in the future so you can see what Katniss's life had become.

Mockingjay submitted by SBNB on August 4, 2012, 11:57pm I've heard a lot of people say that the ending was disappointing, but I think it couldn't have ended better. I won't say anymore about the ending because I don't want to give anything away, but it's a good one, it wraps up all loose ends, and it leaves you thinking. The book, overall, was entertaining (though I really don't like that everything is told in the present tense). The story seemed to fit well with the first two books in the series. And I have to say, one of my favorite characters in this book was the cat. Don't let the naysayers keep you from this book. Give it a try and form your own opinion.

Not Good submitted by eringogreen on August 11, 2012, 7:59pm I pretty much wish I didn't read this book. I think the first Hunger Games could have stood on it's own. I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't like this one. I think it had to do with the writing, story telling and lack of character development. I also think that parts that could have just been summarized and skipped past were drug out way too long, and parts that had the most meaning and could have went into more detail were just skimmed over. This just wasn't a good book. At all.

A Good Finish submitted by tshapla on August 15, 2012, 11:31am This was a good finish to the series but I will say I missed all the arena action. I think this could have been made more interesting and sadly it wasn't as good as the first two. I was a little dissapointed but this book is still one of my favorites just the same.

Good submitted by marisal on August 17, 2012, 11:37am It was not the best book in the series. I felt the other books had more exciting and intense moments but this was still good

A little disappointing submitted by smariej on August 30, 2012, 9:04am Once again, thought provoking and exciting page turner. My only complaint is that because of the first person narrative from Katniss' point of view, this and the second book miss out on a lot of interesting things happening in the revolution elsewhere - very narrow world, with too much post-event "tell" instead of showing us the revolution and conflict - not to mention that the Gale/Katniss side of things just completely petered out with little resolution, and the "happy ending" should have been expanded on more.

Unpredicted submitted by sip217 on June 16, 2013, 2:19pm Who would've known they would hijack peeta???

Good submitted by Motomori on June 19, 2013, 11:07am This was a good book. I have to say, the first book was WAY better than the second and third books. The ending for this book wasn't that great, but was still a great series I would recommend to all people who don't mind a little blood and gore.

Last book in the trilogy! submitted by leehannah on June 21, 2013, 1:46pm I thought the ending could've been a little better than this, but I still thought this series was amazing. I enjoyed reading the books and I think Suzanne Collins is an amazing author.

The ending submitted by jangmikyoung on June 21, 2013, 1:48pm Mockingjay was the last book in the trilogy, but I thought the other two books in this series were better. The ending was a little boring, but overall, the whole trilogy was a nice read.

Okay... not good ending submitted by xiwang on June 28, 2013, 5:10pm The districts are now in a full blown war. Kind of amazing that it just started from some berries. The book was filled with action but was gruesome. The ending, however, seemed to wrap up rather quickly.

Not bad submitted by rlmorgan on July 7, 2013, 6:31am In Mockingjay the real war is played out, and while there is no official Games the same story line of the games plays out. The romance aspects are tied up by the end of the book. This was my least favorite of the triology. To me it seemed like the most violent and militaristic of the series, and that is saying something. I wish Katniss had grown a little more during through the stories.

Good submitted by ECReader on July 7, 2013, 5:37pm This book was good, but not as good has the first one. I think the lack of action in the beginning could be changed. This is probably because there was no arena in this book. I liked the ending a lot though, that part definitely had action! Even though this book may not have been as good as the first two, it is still worth reading.=)

Okay submitted by Lulu D on July 12, 2013, 10:41am It was good but not as good as the others in the trilogy

Mockingjay submitted by azoelsmith on July 31, 2013, 6:47am This was a good read. Not as much action as the first two books, but it continued to delve into the personalities of the people in the book.

Loved it submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on August 24, 2013, 2:02pm I couldn't put this down, and read it in approximately 12 hours, including picking my kids up from school and making dinner.

I really liked the *process* that the characters go through in this book. Katniss is used by nearly everyone in her life other than her family, Peeta, and possibly Gale. Quite frankly, this is what would happen when politically motivated adults had a "culturally hot" teenager available to them. But figuring out their agendas, making her own decisions to go along or thwart the plans, or to create her own agenda... that's what drives Katniss and what drives the story.

Parts of the story (especially Katniss taking over the military team) felt less realistic to me than much of the rest of the story (or the entire first book), which is most of why this did not get five stars for me.

Great trilogy, but I must add, wildly not for kids. Several fourth graders in my son's class have read at least the first book, and I am quite appalled.

Bad submitted by Dannihu on July 10, 2014, 3:43pm Not as good as the other 2 books

Trilogy went downhill submitted by cowmooflage on July 14, 2014, 9:05am Definitely not as good as the first ones. Was very slow and felt rushed at the end. I didn't like the ending

Pretty good submitted by yslee on July 30, 2014, 2:23pm This book is pretty good, but the first 2 books were better.
I didn't like how the ending went by so fast though.

Good Book submitted by jingyan_zhang on January 9, 2015, 2:19pm Good book, but when it ended, I was like, whoa, that's a sudden ending.

Unsatisfying submitted by SapphoDash on June 10, 2015, 3:04pm As the third in the Hunger Games Series, I expected a grand finale, this book was not it. It caused you to hate the characters, killing or instilling some form of Dementia among entire families at some points. It's not satisfying, or even saddening, and you begin to grow bored after the first few deaths. Katniss is a horrid mess, and it's shameful to be put in her perspective. Maybe it just unsatisfying, but I thought it was just plotted poorly.

weak submitted by airgood on June 15, 2015, 4:50pm I was expecting a stronger ending to this trilogy since the first two books were so good; this one fell flat. It lacked the Katniss/Peeta dynamic, and Katniss just seems like a weak character in comparison to the other books. It's still worth a read, but don't expect it to be as good as the others!

Good submitted by Mustafa Ali on July 6, 2015, 10:07pm Good book
Very descriptive
But not the best in the series

So so submitted by leenajong on July 7, 2015, 10:40am I think the first two books are much better. Too much politics!

Mockingjay submitted by estermyer on July 20, 2015, 1:11pm This book was okay...it was definitely not the best book of the trilogy though. It's a very slow book, and sometimes it was hard to get through the book. It's the saddest though ;( I won't give any spoilers though ;)

Okay submitted by avanlav on June 20, 2016, 7:30am Mockingjay isn't my favorite, but it's okay. Some people didn't like the ending, but I think it was pretty good! The way that there's no big finale may be disappointing to some, but to me it seems more realistic. Also, you have to think about a lot of things in order to understand the ending. Suzanne Collins doesn't just tell you why Katniss does what she does - partially because Katniss herself sometimes doesn't really know. Also, I like how the ending is "happy", yet not happy. Katniss puts on a brave face and pretends to be happy, and some people interpret that as a bad happy ending, I guess. I liked the book.

The Series Comes Back to Earth submitted by Meginator on June 20, 2017, 10:01pm Here is where the Hunger Games stumbles a bit, in my opinion. I should start, however, by saying that Mockingjay is, by any reasonable standard, a very good YA dystopian novel, and it provides a fitting and believable conclusion to the series. Everything wraps up nicely, we're reminded of the stakes at hand, and one climactic moment genuinely surprised me in a way that books rarely do. The writing is as good, and the characters as compelling, as ever. I do think that Collins loses a bit of the originality that drove the first two Hunger Games novels to such success; Mockingjay, in contrast, reads like a more typical (but very well done!) book in its genre. Fans of the series won't be terribly disappointed, and it's definitely worth reading to see how everything wraps up, but the book fails to live up to the lofty expectations set by its predecessors. And to be fair, those are incredibly high standards.

Exciting submitted by boocathy621 on June 18, 2018, 7:34pm Great finale. I loved this book. The ending chapters were so engaging they kept me captivated. The whole series is a literary masterpiece!

Amazing submitted by irvin.linda on June 24, 2018, 4:37pm This book is just as good as the other two, it is a quick and amazing read (I finished the entire series in a week). Anyone who has not read this I totally recommend it.

ok submitted by anita.lautenbach on June 25, 2018, 2:33pm Good book
Very descriptive
But not the best in the series

Good submitted by dahyatt on July 16, 2018, 9:02pm Good finishing book to the series. Not as good as the first 2 but wraps up the story well.

Ok submitted by peterflorence on July 25, 2018, 10:00am Mockingjay is a good end to the series, but I wished it had ended differently. Very surprising ending.

the mockingjay submitted by sandri on August 13, 2018, 5:13pm I think that this book is a solid ending to the series

Sad and exciting submitted by Bigal2212 on August 22, 2018, 1:41pm Great ending to the series

Fantastic submitted by lstorc on August 27, 2018, 4:49pm This end of the series is as is gripping and poignant as the first book! It is hard to put down!

Great finish to the series! submitted by Xris on August 28, 2018, 7:36pm When we got it for my daughter, she immediately started reading it and didn't stop until she was finished. She came out of her room crying. Nice ending to the series!

A Mostly Great Finale submitted by dntanzer on August 31, 2018, 11:06am As with the other two books, this finale was thrilling and interesting. It was impossible for me to put the book down! I liked how Collins wrapped up the stories of our leading characters, though I wish the ending had been a little more uplifting.

Weak Ending submitted by c_zhang on June 26, 2019, 7:08pm It's honestly the worst book of the series. Lots of plot armor and some things didn't really make sense.

Great Series submitted by TLW1998 on July 19, 2019, 9:18pm This is an excellent book. It is a fun and fast read.

Excellent series submitted by sbeegees on August 5, 2019, 10:58pm While the ending in this book was a bit disappointing, the series overall is most definitely not. 100% worth the read.

Mocking Jay submitted by Clown81 on August 31, 2019, 2:15am Awful.

Horrible. submitted by graytabby on August 1, 2021, 5:25pm This was a complete letdown. Reading the first two books was exciting, but this book was incoherent, unrealistically political, and all-around a tedious read. Just to give you an idea of how bad it is, Peeta goes crazy, Katniss cheats on Peeta with Gale, it's way too fast-paced, with so many things happening at once, it's impossible to keep track of what district Katniss is in at what time -- idiotic.
But the series itself is good. Read it.

ok submitted by HockeyDude on August 26, 2021, 2:48pm Mainly about politics

Great series submitted by Harlowamy on August 28, 2021, 5:07pm Great addition to the series

Decent submitted by jakiehl on June 16, 2022, 8:30pm The book was ok, but it was hard to understand what was going on at points.

this book is good submitted by mayaisAWESOME on July 24, 2022, 1:45pm I think this book is a great book, but defiantly for older kids. I read 1,2, and 1/2 of 3 when I was little and It is defiantly not for small children.Just reread them all though and there great now that I understand them better.

Suspense submitted by czadams on August 28, 2022, 9:48am Such an amazing read- full of suspense- you dont know what is going to happen next

Disappointing Final Battle submitted by maywang on July 11, 2023, 1:32pm The book was great except for the final battle. The Battle of the Capital was boring.
