It's inevitable that when I review a series, my review of the third book will be longer than the others. After all, I usually withhold some judgement until I get to the end. Mockingjay, the resolution and third book of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy, was a book that I literally could not wait to get my hands on. When I finally tracked it down, I read it in a day. Read on for my thoughts on the resolution of this series.
I read the first book in the Hunger Games series in record time. Catching Fire the second book in Suzanne Collins' trilogy, was read in an even shorter time, if that's possible. This book really ratcheted up the emotion and action from the first book, keeping me occupied and on the edge of my seat as I read through the continuation of Katniss' story. (If you want, you can read my review of the first book here, and Corey's review of the entire trilogy here)
The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins was likely the most-recommended book of the year for me. It seems everyone wanted to tell me about this book and how I should read it before I'm a moment older. So, I finally read it, and I have to say that it is a pretty good book. It's definitely quite a twist from the usually futuristic fiction junk that's out there. I read the entire book in a day (Being imprisoned in various stores with my family for most of the day helped, though).
Considering that ninety-percent of young adult fiction these days is hardly worth the cost of the paper it’s printed on, I was thoroughly shocked when I finished The Hunger Games trilogy and found myself concluding that it was one of the best things I’d ever read.
