Mockingjay by Suzanne CollinsISBN-10: 0545663261ISBN-13: 978-0545663267ASIN: B003XF1XOQPublisher: ScholasticSuzanne Collins brings us back into the world of District 13 where the rebellion is in full swing, and Katniss is out of control.Katniss is the Mockingjay &#8211; the symbol of the rebellion to all the people of the districts. She has flaunted her contempt of the Capitol twice, and they want her to do it again.She doesn&#8217;t want to. She&#8217;s injured&#8230;and scared for Peeta, who was captured and taken to Panem. They didn&#8217;t get him out of the arena.She is now dealing with a controlled existence, although it&#8217;s not like the Capitol&#8217;s control &#8211; there is plenty of food, but people have a purpose and schedule. But she suffers through being underground in safety for her family&#8217;s sake.Eventually, through much convincing, she agrees to be their &#8220;Mockingjay,&#8221; but she has her own terms for her giving the service. President Coin doesn&#8217;t like her, she can feel it, but it gets worse after she delivers her terms. But Katniss will do anything to save the lives of the victors from the arena who are now at the mercy of Panem.Peeta is one of those conditions. But, what they bring back to District 13 is an abomination of Peeta; he&#8217;s no longer himself.With her best and oldest friend, Gale, Katniss learns to be the Mockingjay&#8230;her way. She becomes not only the symbol, but the spirit of the rebellion. And, when things get difficult, she goes rogue so she can finally have a chance at ending the war and bringing an end to President Snow once and for all.This comes at a very high price&#8230;one that will haunt her for the rest of her life. Even after she decides which man she really loves and starts a life with him in peace and freedom.Again, I&#8217;m still not fond of Suzanne Collins&#8217; writing style, which I found flat and kind of dull.  And this book, more than the first two, shows off that weakness in writing. Where in the other books Katniss was strong and rose to meet challenges, in this book she was wishy-washy; instead of developing as a character, she regressed. That, on top of Katniss being injured through almost the entire book, made it slower than the previous two. I felt like the author was bored and couldn&#8217;t inject any excitement into the story because she wasn&#8217;t feeling it. The third book was disappointing for me, so much so, that I have to give it a lower rating. If I hadn&#8217;t been vested in the characters from the movies and previous books, I probably wouldn&#8217;t have finished reading it. I hope I like the movie more than the book&#8230;when it arrives. Otherwise, there were a few minor mistakes in the book with punctuation and extra or missing words here and there.
