Mockingjay is the third book in "The Hunger Games" series and it's my lowest rated book out of the three. 

The first two books seemed to have non stop action, and while this book had action, it takes a while to start up. The whole first third of the book is about

life at District 13

and it was a bit boring. 

When I first read this in my early 20s I was a Gale fan, I was rooting for Katniss to end up with Gale.

In the past, when she ended up with Peeta, I was disappointed.

Now that I'm in my early 30s I'm not disappointed with the epilogue, I was team Peeta this time around. 

I didn't 100% love the ending but this was still a good book, overall. Even though this was the lowest rating I've given a Hunger Games book (both the first books got 5 stars from me) I still enjoyed it. 

I'm giving this 4 stars out of 5. 

I listened to this for free on scribd
