Many readers think this third book in the HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY isn't as good as the first two. As I was reading this, I didn't agree...at first. The first two parts were really good, (Mockingjay is sectioned into 3 parts) and I was into it. The third part is when it lost something. The screen-writer adapters are definitely going to change the ending, and I'll tell you how. (spoiler alert if I have to say it).

When it comes to the battle outside the president's mansion, everything is going to climax there and Katniss will probably shoot Snow at that moment, (I think the audience will want that) and in the same scene where she comes to conflict with Coin. Big climax. I'm not saying that's what I wanted, but I am saying the ending of Mockingjay didn't work for me because the action was stopped twice. Once because Katniss got wounded and then spent time recovering; then in the scene where the rebels and Coin are officially taking over the capitol, she is wisked away again and we have to hear about the climax and the death of Snow second-hand!
Second-hand?!

For the climax of the story our first-person narrator was in a bedroom alone, and she is later told what happened. Katniss should've been in on the action. I actually thought that she would die, but I'm glad she didn't.

I should say that I really liked the Hanging Tree song.
