Wow ... This was, in my opinion, the perfect end to the trilogy. I know some people were expecitng something different, but I thought Mockingjay was incredible. I think Suzanne Collins made it clear from the start that she was not writing a Harry Potter-type fantasy. She wanted it to feel gritty and raw and violent - to make us think about the violence of war, which is sanitized every day for us on the nightly news. This book is an incredibly powerful conclusion to a trilogy about media, war, and lengths human beings will go to, to control each other. I thought it was great! I bought the third book becuase I could not wait to read it, and now I am going to go back and buy the first 2.
