I also felt really depressed after finishing it, to the point where people asked if I was ok at school the next day.

Yes Katniss and the gang live in a dark world, but this was a whole other level. It took me a bit longer to read because I had to step away from it.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03199090871816032532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-65621725871944232252011-01-08T14:49:03.021-08:002011-01-08T14:49:03.021-08:00I felt part 3 was definitely the most exciting of ...I felt part 3 was definitely the most exciting of the book. I was really sad about some of the deaths in the story, especially the ones that occurred right up until the end. The book moved a little slower than the first too, but was a good way to end the series.KristinCanReadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328283897786783749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-58884460547561311772011-01-08T12:59:31.104-08:002011-01-08T12:59:31.104-08:00My least favorite of the series, but still one of ...My least favorite of the series, but still one of the best books I've ever read.Alex Bennett from Electrifying Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432523872127753335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-3217718599359608272011-01-08T12:53:17.076-08:002011-01-08T12:53:17.076-08:00Aww yes, I cried buckets too.

It was just too much to bare, but you know it's a story that has stuck with me and will have a lasting impression. <br /><br />Suzanne Collins was not afraid to venture into unknown territory in YA, discussing about the outcomes of war, what war really is and means, the destruction that war causes, and the emotions and loss that people have during these times. I just loved the whole concept of it, and I do believe it was a great conclusion to an epic YA masterpiece. I know what happened in Mockingjay wasn't what so many people had wanted, but I felt it was right, it should have ended the way it did, and it made you aware of what The Hunger Games actually meant.Braidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10156943108558867027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-35894362335407962242011-01-08T11:44:28.008-08:002011-01-08T11:44:28.008-08:00I completely agree with your review!

I was crying buckets when I read it and I was also kind of angry that none of the characters I loved could catch a break!! <br /><br />When I finished the book I just sat there with my nook in my hand and thought "wow. I don't even know what to think." I couldn't decide whether I hated it because it was so depressing & all my favorite characters were gone or whether I liked it because it was amazingly written and the fact that the book can have such a strong hold on me is quite a testament to Collins as an author. <br /><br />I thought although it may not have ended the way I wanted it to end, I think it was a fitting ending for the series.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609279609715882850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272447557425149349.post-18441843846383554662011-01-08T11:33:43.267-08:002011-01-08T11:33:43.267-08:00I agree about the depression part... but I wasn...I agree about the depression part... but I wasn't crazy about this book. It was disappointing after the first two great stories. It almost seemed like it had been written by a different author.<br /><br />Oh, well.La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.com
