I just finished reading Mockingjay few hours ago. And my thoughts are:
I honestly don't know where to begin. All I know is that I'm quite disappointed with this series.
I had read tons of good reviews about this book and how they compare it with HP series. They were saying that most HP lovers will probably love this series as well, so I wont deny that I expected a lot from it.
Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. I have to disagree with those people who kept on insisting it was good as HP- not even close.
First, it was pretty morbid. The whole idea of Hunger Games was quite crazy. Death. Survival. Killing other people to protect your family. It was really tragic. Second, I honestly don't know what I should feel about the whole book- what does it want to say? Or, what does it want to impart with its readers? Oh well, I admire Katniss' bravery and genuine-ness. Her love for her family specially for her sister, Prim. But apart from that, nothing. Third, although, I loved the ending, I must say that I felt it was being rushed. I was expecting more from it.
Nonetheless, I find the story really unique. Again, I loved the ending. I thought, somewhere in the book, Peeta or Gale will die for Katniss and *sigh it did not happened. And I really like Peeta for Katniss not Gale. So yeah, that I really loved. Compare to other dystopians that I have read, this one made it to top3 along with The Giver (Lois Lowry) and Awaken (Katie Kacvinsky).
ps.
This is not a review.
Just my thoughts.
