While I agree with many of the reviews I have read - specifically that this book is not quite as riveting as the first two in the series - I thought that it was the perfect ending to the story. The author manages to weave everything together, leaving no plot lines open and not promising a sequel. The story managed to keep my attention from the opening pages of The Hunger Games to the last word of the epilogue in Mockingjay, which is a feat not often accomplished. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and worth a re-read in the future.
