Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

There was such a big build up to this book!!! I absolutely could not wait to get this book in my hands to read.  Immediately I got back into the characters.  I could not contain myself!!!  Unfortunately as a whole I did not like it!! I know! I'm so upset!!!!  The Hunger Games & Catching Fire were such great books.  The story line was awesome and the love triangle was suspensful, you just never could guess what was going to happen.  Mockingjay is such a dark and ugly book compared to the first 2.  Katniss takes a downward spiral from the very beginning and she just keeps getting worse!  I didn't like what happened with Peeta or Gale.  They totally made Gale to be the bad guy.(I won't go into any details).  It felt like she was rushed in writing it once it got to the end.   The whole book is a war book, there's no arena or actual "games" but there is plenty of fighting in Mockingjay.  There's a lot of new characters introduced also that gets a little hard to keep up with.  I absolutely loved this series, but sorry to say Mockingjay was a downgrade compared to the first 2 in the series.  I would still suggest you read it, which usually I don't do.  But personally I was very dissapointed.  =(
