Mockingjay In One Word

Mockingjay, Book Cover, Suzanne Collins

Mockingjay

Seeing as how thousands of people will be reviewing Mockingjay, I thought for my review I wouldn’t make a full review, knowing how much I could accidentally give away, so I will just write one word to sum up all of my thoughts on the conclusion to the Hunger Games Trilogy:

Brilliant.

If you had to sum up all of your feelings for Mockingjay in one word, what word would you use? Please keep comments spoiler-free.

Sadly, I am on the waiting list for both Catching Fire and Mockingjay, so I have to wait to give you my one word!

However, you have won an award on my blog- come check it out! (If you don't want to/don't have time to send it out to more people, I totally understand.)

I hope you'll do a full review at some point – I haven't seen any actual reviews come out of the "Brilliant" camp yet. My word would have to be "Disappointed"

My word would be:

UNFORGETTABLE

cause that's what it is.

Loved book three, loved the series, and am also waiting to review because I don't want to ruin anything for anyone!

I posted a full review (with some mild spoilers) on Tuesday, but I haven't seen many people talking about it.

I think my one word would be…Real.

I'm so looking forward to reading this. I read where someone said the ending disappointed them. I hope not. :(

I'm going to go with: amazing. I loved it and think Collins is an amazing writer.

I'm *sadly* gonna have to agree with Angela: disappointing. It just didn't live up to the hype, for me. Too much telling and too much crammed into one book.

Ugh. (Or rather, I'm sorry I invested the time in the series, despite the fantasticness of Catching Fire, to arrive at that ending.)

I'm going to do a twitter hash tag as my one word:

Redemptive.

(ie I really didn't like Catching Fire but Mockingjay made up for it and completely blew me out of the water)

My huge long rambly post full of spoilers went up today. :D

Unputdownable!

Ok – I know that isn’t a word – but that sums up how I felt reading it!
