Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

The third installment of the Hunger Games series of-course comes with the baggage of the level of the past two. In this book we find the ‘mocking jay’ taking up her role seriously understanding what the position entails.

The Poet

I loved the Lincoln Lawyer n many other Connely charachters. For me the foreword by Stephen King ruined the experience of reading the book. My expectations soared as the novel lagged behind trying to catch up. The plot of murders of homicide cops was good. The way the clues unfolded was well thought. The characters were beautifully sketched. What lacked…

But I digress.  This story is of the last case on which…

  After Harry Potter and Twilight series I believe this is another hit for the same genre. Loved the main character, specially her love for her sister.
