“Mockingjay” is the last and final book in the well-known trilogy “The Hunger Games”. The series was turned into a series of movies from which the last one, “Mockingjay part two” was released recently. This last movie follows the last half of this book, therefore I decided to re-read the book in order to refresh my mind before going to see the movie.

At the quarter-quell Katniss, among other winners were rescued by the resistance and token to district thirteen. There were waiting Katniss mother and sister as well as Gale, who survived the bombs that were thrown over district twelve when the arena exploded. At thirteen everyone has a role and Katniss’ is to be the Mockingjay, to be the leader of the rebellion.
However the capitol has other plans and is not afraid of using the victors left in the arena to suppress the resistance. Peeta was the one chosen to be the image of the capitol, therefore Katniss ask for him being rescued in order to be the Mockingjay.
What she doesn’t know is that the capitol has a plan in case they rescue Peeta one that will hurt Katniss in a way other things might look insignificant.

Mockingjay is the least favorite book in the trilogy for most people, nonetheless that doesn’t apply to me. I get the point of those people; this book has less action and more politics in it, which might appear less entertaining. However I find this book as a necessary reflection on the reason behind the series. In my opinion the whole series might act as a morality tale and this last reflection was necessary in order to get the most out of the trilogy. Katniss finds her self in this book, until now she was fighting for something she did not understand; from this point she knows why she is fighting. More over, she understands that not everything is allowed when fighting for something, that the only one thing that will make the different is the thing they are willing to sacrifice. Other characters as Peeta or Annie show their good-heart nature. Gale however shows what he started showing on the first book, that he has so much hate that make him as bad as the capitol.


To sum up, regarding what most people think about this conclusion to this trilogy I think this one was one of my favorite books of all time, since this conclusion has a lot of morality and a lot of interesting psychology that makes it much more than a simple YA book.
