Book 9 of 2011

I finished this early Sunday morning after staying up late the night before attempting to finish it but ultimately succumbing to sleep.

Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games)

10) Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games) by Suzanne Collins
The final installment of the Hunger Games trilogy is bleak. It's a country song without the steel guitar. It's your dog dying on the day your significant other leaves you because you got fired from your dream job. Mockingjay is Aron Ralston's situation but with both arms. It's bleak is what I'm saying. The one ray of hope and sunshine occurs in the final two pages and that undercuts much of what the character represents.
