My Review 2.5 stars

I've been trying to read this for so long and I put it down so many times for I must admit that I did actually struggle to finish this book.I can't believe that the story is ending and I'm like so that's basically it?...it's quite clear all along who will Katniss choose but rooting back and forth who is my favorite pair of them all I'm all in for Peeta haha! I'm really glad she did pick *ahem can't tell ahem* they are so adorable! they've been through a lot,their chemistry,love and history plus her reasons that made her pick him is just....OMG! XD

Everything is simple yet complicated because in order to defeat and kill Snow they must infiltrate the capitol.Katniss remained strong though there are times she felt so weak and not the right person to do the job and yet she still embodied, gave people hope,faced what she's destined to be...The Mockingjay!.

About the book:

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.(more)

My Review: 2 stars

Everything was quite predictable to be honest though it was nice to read the continuation of it all.I felt how much pressure Katniss was bearing, all those pretentious star-crossed lovers effect took its toll which need more convincing power,relationship fallen and shaken,safety,security,family threathened and all that oh my goodness!

I like the arena this time it's a bit confusing at first but I got a hang of it.The Quarter Quell this time around is too much of a torture OVERKILL that's one way to put it for it extinguished the hope that's left or is it? There are some tear jerker parts for me it's always when somebody else's died for a cause like to save another tribute/others, for the greater good,good people with good heart and intentions.I love how they utilized the mockingjay either as a pin or whatever as a sign of which side you're on or either just to blend in to fashion statement at the Capitol and of course the watch of this year's Quarter Quell Gamemaker is to die for! it's so beautiful I wonder where I could get and avail one.

The ending was so much of a cliff hanger I hope book III is action pack.

My Review: 2 stars

There are some parts of the book that reminded me of Hunter X Hunter (when Gon and the others are on the island thinking of an effective strategy how to take each other out,get the badge in order to move on the next round).Though the Hunger games is totally different the arena and gamemakers got all sorts of twist each one makes it more unique,believable almost possible in a way it's so engaging! The emotions,hierarchy,training,televised shows,hunting or be haunted,the food!,battle of survival,star crossed lover effect oh dear I love Peeta! he's a baker,funny,kind,generous almost all the traits you'll adore in a boy.After reading this book I totally understood what the fuss is all about,how thrilling,exciting,overwhelmingly awesome this would be on the big screen.There are also some points that I could somehow predict what's going to happen next like okay that's it but yeah every single time it somewhat throws me off.It's so real that I can't help but catch my breath,cheer on the characters,despise other disctrict's villainy plot in the end all is well hooray!well at least for now anyway...book two here I come!
