comments are all beautiful ... crazy But now I have an anxiety disorder ...
"At its best the trilogy channels the political passion of" 1984 ", violence memorable "A Clockwork Orange", the imaginative environment of "The Chronicles of Narnia" and inventiveness details of "Harry Potter". The specificity of the dystopian universe and the amazing pace of the plot complicated, from the books that their charisma is strange and dark. "
- The New York Times -
" This concluding volume of the trilogy of Collins' The Hunger Games "makes a rare feat of being even better than the last chapter, a novel intelligent and beautifully orchestrated that succeeds on every level. "
- Publishers Weekly -
" The Collins is many things brilliantly, not least of which is to offer final chapter of breathtaking events that turn on their heads and then upset them again. But more ambitious is the way in which takes readers questions and conclusions about the war throughout history. There is nothing didactic here, and sometimes the rush of the race events also obscures what message is there. But readers will understand instinctively what Katniss knows in his soul, that the war mix all the slogans and justifications, plans and deceptions, the causes and ideals in a disgusting "stew" whose taste leads to folly. That there is still a human spirit that longs to do good is the hope of the book. "
- Booklist -
" This dystopian-fantasy series, which began in 2008, had such an appeal that kids and parents may find themselves vying for the family copy of "Mockingjay. It will have plenty to talk about, because this powerful novel pierces the cheerful complacency as an arrow launched by Katniss. Look with skepticism to the images of computers and television, suggests a look on the faces of young soldiers in the world. Children forced to kill children? Is not only in the pages of a novel. "
- The Washington Post -
" The incredible conclusion of the trilogy by Suzanne Collins 'Hunger Games' proves once again that the greatest fantasy novels contain a glowing reflection of reality .
- Parade -
"Throughout the trilogy, Collins has asked readers to consider the heavy questions. What level of violence is justified to make the necessary changes? How much 'one can compromise integrity for a just order? To what extent has the responsibility to others to demand self-sacrifice? How much control one has on the construction of self? Katniss is the ideal vehicle for this dialogue, this time in his narrative constantly puts his motives and even his identity under scrutiny. Katniss will be severely tested, alliances shift, the fight scenes are thrilling to give priority to anxious thoughts, she and readers will find themselves wondering who to trust, you will lose readers and friends who love each other. Ultimately, this is exactly the book that his fans had hoped. She takes them and not let them go, and leave them with questions, well then, it probably is the book for which Collins also hoped for. "
- Kirkus -
" Katniss must come to terms with what the his humanity and sanity to sacrifice for the cause, for his friends and his family. Collins is absolutely merciless in its depiction of war in all its cruelty, violence and loss, leaving readers, in turn, shocked, saddened and, finally, filled with hope for the characters with whom they have learned to empathize and you are in love. Mockingjay is a fitting end the series that began with The Hunger Games (2008) and Catching Fire (2009) and will have the same lasting resonance of the Lord of the Flies William Golding and Lord of The Stand by Stephen King. "
- School Library Journal -
"The last chapter, even more ruthless, is a compelling meditation on the costs of war ... This final volume is powerful and emotionally exhausting. "
- People Magazine -
" Fans will be pleased to know that Mockingjay is equally complex and imaginative and Hunger Games Catching Fire. Collins kicked the brutal violence in a plot to "edge-of-the-chair" that follows Katniss as he tries to play its role, protecting his mother and sister and, finally, finally choose between his two great loves. "
- Entertainment Weekly -
" Mockingjay is without doubt the most brutal of the trilogy. No one gets out unscathed - really bad things happen to everyone, from fan favorite to the minor characters so that the reader must pause and think, "Who is this again?" before retreating in horror at their fate. Collins does not take lightly the war - his characters discuss the morality involved in tactics to try to reverse the rot, the government is immoral, and pay a high cost for those tactics. It 's also a full reading in one go. In Katniss, Collins has a heroine so strong and persistent that the reader will follow anywhere. "
- Christian Science Monitor -
" Much of the action takes place on a battlefield like Iraq - where innocent civilians are killed in order to promote a cause and each side resorts to nasty tactics that could lead to the label of terrorist. More sentimental than the first two books in the series, "Mockingjay" is also the most violent and bloody and, based on the actions and statements of his characters, is more openly against the war - though not so much to distract from a conclusion that is almost as shocking, and certainly just as original and exciting, like "The Hunger Games. "Wow."
