Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins



MY NAME IS KATNISS EVERDEEN.
WHY AM I NOT DEAD?
I SHOULD BE DEAD.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capital. district 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capital. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans--except Katniss.

The sucess of the r4ebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. she must become the rebels' Mockingjay -- no matter what the personal cost.

==I anticipated this book for so long. I hate to say that I was disappointed. But am willing to give it another try and read it again. I'll redo my thoughts after I reread it.==
