Nice and good quality

3 stars. I liked it. Recommended. Hunger Games series is fast paced, thrilling, emotional and have a very good plot. I would definitely recommend the series to others but the conclusion of the series is bit disappointing. Conclusion is also tragic. I am happy that many characters didn't die but it was a sad ending. **spoilers ahead** Katniss reduced to self pitying and whining girl who can't handle with the tragic incidents happened in her life. She has no idea what's going on and didn't have any opinion about anything. She was very much confused. In previous installations she was kick ass,in control, intelligently assessing the situations to make decision but she lost all of her qualities. I agree that there is lot of bad things happening but I felt like she lost her main quality i.e. fighting back. Its a biggest low in this book for me. She whines about Peeta and Gale too. I hate it when any main character does that in any book. If you can't make up your mind then take a break, clear your mind and DECIDE. But don't go kissing around both and say 'I need Gale' and 'I need Peeta'( can't help but compare this to Twilight). I hated her for this. Then, there is matter of deaths. Some deaths seems to be silly, didn't make any sense and unnecessary. Death of Prim didn't have any impact on me because you don't get to meet her much in the story. So, I was not able to relate with Katniss's emotional turmoil which Prim's death brought on her. I really felt like slapping her when she agrees for Hunger Games giving a excuse that its for Prim( I think Hunger Games were the main reason for her death and she wants them again and that too for Prim ! What an idiot!). Many other characters just died without any cause for example Finnick. I was hoping that he is going to play some important role in killing of President Snow but sadly he just died(Oh, I know he was trying to save Katniss **sarcastically**). There is also one thing which confused me. When Boggs dies, he says "Don't Trust anyone. Kill Peeta. Do what you came for". I thought there is major plot twist coming but these lines had nothing to do with story that follows. Anyways, even with my complaints I enjoyed reading the series and always rooted for Katniss Everdreen.

This novel kept saying things in a way so easy to understand and so difficult to digest. The author.. god she knows at what point the peaks and lows should be. And the humor and inside jokes. The details in which she explained the environment and situations. I loved reading this novel beside the marvelous plot it provided. Only part which didn't waved soemthing was elaborating the dark scenes so much. Back and forth. And giving the essence of it right in front of our nose. Like its a white rose.

Not a single damage to any of the books i ordered....and great book...i recommend u to read.

I just can't believe this has finished , when I first started reading this I had the mindset of "Oh well its a famous book , let's try it out" but slowly it has grown on me and taken over my thoughts. Kat's emotions are my emotions. Peeta's agony my agony and every single person who has died has burrowed a place deep in my heart. I am glad but also sad that this journey has come to an end , but I will never forget it not in my darkest times not in my My brightest days

After two action packed thrilling books 'Mockingjay', last book in The Hunger Games series does come into the party only near the end. Don't get me wrong, the book is still excellent, the only issue is the pacing of the book along with lot of emotional melodrama. [spoilers ahead] at the end of second book, it's clear that district 13 exists underground. Katniss is taken by district 13 people at the end of 75th Hunger Games and she is asked to act as Mockingjay for the rebellion. In return, all the tributes get the immunity and Katniss get to personally kill Snow. The book has good action towards the end, lots of violence and realistic. Suzzane Collins did not write expected ending which makes the whole series believable.The only problem with this book is the pacing of the book. Although considerable amount doubt is there in Katniss mind about District 13 but still she looks confused what to do & not do. Character of president of District 13, Coin doesn't seem believable and romantic angle falls flat. Despite it's flaws, its' still compelling read & highly recommended. [spoilers end]

It was good throughout the series until I reach the end, it shattered all my expectation, dissapointed a bit for that but nevermind, the fun I had reading this trilogy makes up whatever the ending is. It has all the element to make you delved into in, will also give you a pleasant reading experience. The concept is the key attribute, why people mostly pick up this series, I myself was quite intrigue hearing about the concept and it couldn't have been better, the way it has been presented is so appreciatable. The characters has been potrayed really well, you can feel every bit happening with the protagonist Katniss Everdeen, though I really liked Haymitch's drunken demeanour and ofcourse Peeta Mellark. I am contented with the experience I had. It somehow uplighted my desire to read more and more series. Just Read it. Happy Hunger Games💕

the moment i opened up the book to start reading the pages starting falling off after turning them only once or twice!!

Alert: spoilers abound. The overall pattern of the Hunger Games series is a familiar one to the genre: an ordinary individual (albeit one with some unordinary talents) is thrown into extraordinary circumstances, faces and overcomes an immediate threat to personal survival that turns into a much broader conflict in which this person plays a central part. Some of my favorite books or series follow this motif: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Dune, Ender's Game, Star Wars, the Hyperion series, His Dark Materials ... the list goes on and on. It is much easier to begin such a series than it is to end one. The beginning is easy, because the scope is smaller: a compelling mystery or situation, an enigmatic or charismatic hero or heroine, a seemingly insurmountable menace ... it all makes for good drama, pregnant with potential promise, with the details to be filled in later. A successful ending is much harder, and even amongst the works I listed earlier, some were able to achieve a successful ending better than others. This is because by the end of such works, the scope has enlarged, the world is bigger: for an author, it is easy for plot lines to spiral out of control (the post-Ender's Game trilogy and the finale of His Dark Materials come to mind) or for the ending to seem too implausibly 'pat', too "happily ever after" to do justice to the difficult journey trekked by the characters we grew close to. And yet, it is safer for an author to hew to the latter course, as there is something innately human about the desire to root for the "one man against the universe" who triumphs over all odds, beats the bad guy, and gets the girl (or boy) and the gold too, as improbable as it might be. That's why we love action movies, even though most deserve the caveat "as long as you don't think about it too much ..." This is why I loved Mockingjay, and found Suzanne Collins' ending to this series to be a remarkably brave choice. The "easy way out" was starkly apparent: Katniss could have saved Peeta (in a unique twist on the 'damsel in distress' motif--I must say, I found the choice of a female protagonist to be remarkably smart on Collins' part and refreshing for the genre), killed the bad guy, and they all could have lived happily ever after (with the man of her choosing). On some level, that might have still been a satisfying ending. But Collins' aim is to raise questions, strip assumptions bare, and leave the reader burned and bothered about the fundamental nature of reality, and of war most specifically. Actions have lasting repercussions, wounds and fear do not simply fade away during the chapter break. For me, the fact that Katniss attempts to run away from her demons makes her extraordinarily real. She has been beaten, stabbed, shot, blown up, poisoned, and tortured; she has killed and watched her closest friends and family be tortured and killed, while bearing responsibility at least in part for these actions; she has endured the genocide of her people. If this did not break her, how could she still be considered human? I would ask the critics who wished for a more stoic Katniss what they would have done in her shoes. Particularly given that the weight of Katniss' burden becomes increasingly weighty as Mockingjay continues and it becomes more and more clear that the liberators are fundamentally little different from the oppressors; a new regime under Coin would be no better--and perhaps worse in some ways--than one under Snow. One might be able to tolerate the pain and death if one believed it would lead to a brighter future, but this does not seem to be true had District 13 become the new masters of Panem. The "mission to kill Snow", which would have ended in the predictable 'triumphant victory of good over evil' in the hands of a less-skilled author quickly became a brilliantly perverse mockery of this trite motif, as it quickly becomes clear that Coin has sent Katniss to die along with some other people Coin viewed as a threat (all while keeping the cameras rolling for usable shots of 'the martyrdom of the Mockingjay'). The manner of Prim's death is also particularly heartbreaking, as is the realization that the revolution is really just the Hunger Games on a larger scale--whether orchestrated by Snow or by Coin, there is only one winner (and it is most decidedly not the superficial "winning tribute" of the Games). Both Snow and Coin's manipulation of reality, through propaganda and the use of the Hunger Games and the revolution as "reality TV" was also chilling, resulting in the need for the main characters to constantly question what was 'real' and what was 'not real': made up for the games, or the propaganda, or the war. As a reader, that moment when Katniss shifted her arrow, sending Coin to her death, was cathartic. She chose a 'third way' of sorts, a choice that meant true freedom and liberation for Panem (even if it potentially meant her own death). Even in this moment, Katniss has likely been manipulated (by Snow, and probably even more importantly by Paylor, whose decision to let Katniss speak to Snow set the final events in motion ... and resulted in Paylor assuming the presidency). Yet, at worst, this 'manipulation' served to fully reveal the truth, allowing Katniss to make a true, fully-informed choice. As if to validate the rightness of this choice, the book ends with the indication that a 'new normal' has been created, one more hopeful than could have been possible under either Snow or Coin. True to form, the wounds remain; yet, life goes on. Through her sacrifice and pain, Katniss has created a better world for the next generation; she has also chosen (wisely I believe) the partner with whom together they can make each other whole. The dynamic between Katniss and Peeta was one of the most important and interesting aspects of the entire series, so personally I found it gratifying to see them together at the end, starting a new family (although even this slight nod to convention was tempered by the need to explain their nightmares and roles in the days of Capitol rule to their children). A more subdued and melancholy ending than is typical for this genre, but one that is ultimately true to its characters and the situations they faced: "happy ever after" is for the 'propos' and Capitol newscasts, not reality. Not understanding this fact would make us little better than the viewers in the Capitol watching the Hunger Games for entertainment, seeing the individuals not as people but as 'characters' there to simply give us a good show. Collins expects and demands more of us. After a long and painful journey, a satisfying, if bittersweet, ending to an emotional, intelligent, and wonderful series that I look forward to going back and re-reading at some point in the future. The Hunger Games series more than met my expectations and has gone down as one of my all-time favorite series that I can highly recommend to others. 5 stars, easily.

Ce tome conclut brillamment cette trilogie. Il fait preuve de beaucoup de réalisme et n'est donc pas fait pour se terminer complètement en happy-end. Nous sommes tenus en haleine par les rebondissements, Suzanne Collins joue avec nos nerfs surtout vers la fin mais je n'en dirait pas plus. Par rapport, à la psychologie des personnages, elle est très bien travaillée, Ils sont tous marqués par les événements et chacun réagit différemment selon son caractère et son histoire. On veut vraiment savoir ce qui va arriver aux personnages, qu'ils soient anciens ou abordés seulement dans ce tome.Tout ou pratiquement tout peut arriver dans cet univers car la cruauté de l'Homme n'a pas de frontières. C'est là un autre point de ce livre et de la trilogie en général. Elle nous permet de nous poser de nombreuses questions sur la nature de l'Homme et ce dont nous serions capables si nous étions nés ailleurs. Bref, j'ai beaucoup aimé ce livre et le recommande à tous.

Esta serie de Hunger Games atrapó a mi adolescente, muy recomendable para que tengan el hábito de la lectura.
