Mockingjay
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was so heavily invested in this series and in this story that there was only one conclusion I was willing to accept when I started reading Mockingjay — my 5-star rating illustrates that not only was I not disappointed, I was fully satisfied. The provocative ideas in the final book of the trilogy have me considering questions about what we choose to believe about our friends and also about our perceived enemies. Ultimately, our enemies aren’t others as much as they are the movements or ideas that would encourage the destruction of our fellow human beings. Sometimes WE truly are our own worst enemies. We often have to fight for and discover what’s REAL and true — and that’s the battle that rages in Katniss, Gale, Peeta and others in this final book.

TJ has been reading this series and is looking forward to this one. Originally had planned to be at the store the night it came out but that fell through unfortunately. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it.
This quote, “Ultimately, our enemies aren’t others as much as they are the movements or ideas that would encourage the destruction of our fellow human beings. ” These words you said. They spoke to my heart loudly words that I needed to hear. Thanks.
Thank you SO much, Stacey! I hope he gets a chance to read it soon — I was the last of the three of us to read it and they were waiting for me to finish so we could all talk about it. And there is A LOT to think about and talk about.
