Mockingjay

I finished this book a few days ago, but it's going to end up being my last review of 2011, so I'm sorry to send the year out on such a mediocre note.

Simply put, Mockingjay was not as strong as the other two in the series. Some of it was action packed to the point of confusion and some of it was downright draggy. I've never been a big fan of the three-way love triangle in this series so the fact that this book really played that up was a problem for me. I enjoyed reading it because the characters matter to me, (except Katniss because I found her insufferable in this installment) but that's a strength from the previous two books.

All in all, this is a definite read if you've read the first two books. I do recommend you read those, though, so I guess it's inevitable that you'll have to read this one eventually!
