Mockingjay

My name is Katniss Everdeen.
Why am I not dead?
I should be dead.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans--except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay--no matter what the personal cost.

What to say about this book. The whole ending felt like I was watching a war movie. To be honest I really wasn't tragically moved by this final book. It was...meh. It was alright and I felt like everything was wrapped up nicely in the end but what kind of sticks to me is the morbid voice that has become Katniss. But when they call her the girl on fire they were not kidding. I hated the way that Collins just put Peeta and Katniss together in the end. It was as if his Hijacking never happened. But whatever. I would like to point out that Katniss never wanted to have kids and I hated the way she talked of her kids in the epilogue. This is coming from someone who is actually pregnant. I am amazed at her detachment because I was hoping that children would change her and make her into an actual mother, not a whiney bitch. Sorry Katniss but you should have aborted those poor children because you are severely unfit to be a other, I mean you don't even call them by their names for god sake. So overall I wasn't too happy with Katniss or the way that Collins gave us an ending that was neatly tied in a bow.
