Original Title: Mockingjay
Series: The Hunger Games #3
Author: Suzanne Collins
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Published Date: October 24th 2010
Genre: Science-fiction, Dystopian
Enveloped and toasted with so much sadness and pain, is the book, 'Mockingjay'. In spite of all odds, Katniss Everdeen enters in the Hunger Games twice and comes out of it alive both times. If you think it as her luck, then you should read this book.
At the end of the 'Catching Fire', there was a very unfair cliffhanger. Katniss finds that her district is completely destroyed, and Peeta is taken by the Capitol to be tortured. Katniss is brought to District 13, which was considered as destroyed. In District 13, Katniss is expected to be Mockingjay, the symbol of revolution. But all Katniss could do is to think of a way to be out of insanity. Well, who can blame her! I just felt that way myself. On to the story.. District 13 forms a plan and starts a revolution to overthrow Capitol, keeping Katniss as a piece of their game, again.
When I finished the book, I didn't feel happy or glad..only heaviness and disappointment. No matter what happens in the future of the book, there could never be a completeness or peaceful night's sleep in Katniss' life. The series is an ultimate success and most of us felt it, than knowing it. But, I just thought there are so many deaths and even the final decision of Katniss, while choosing between Peeta and Gale, is not happier. It felt like another survival need.
No hope or optimism in the book. The main goal for the revolution falls, when they won. I know the author has made it realistic..but if tearing apart your heart is realistic, I think I can live without it.
Closed the book with a heavy sad sigh!
Some favorite quotes:
“You love me. Real or not real?"
I tell him, "Real.”
“It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.”
“Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!”
“Some walks you have to take alone.”
“I knew you'd kiss me."
"How?" I say. Because I didn't know myself.
"Because I am in pain," He say's. "That's the only way I get your attention.”
“Is that why you hate me?" I ask.
"Partly," She admits. "Jealousy is certainly involved. I also think you're a little hard to swallow. With your tacky romantic drama and your defender-of-the-helpless act. Only it isn't an act, which makes you more unbearable. Please feel free to take this personally.”
