The final installment of the Hunger Games, Mockingjay, was just as amazing as the first two in the trilogy. I was worried when I began reading it because I couldn't help but wonder if Collins would still have the same amount of shock factor that she put into the first two books. But I was not disappointed. There were just as many moments for me when I dropped my jaw, got goosebumps/chills, or became completely immobile for a minute while trying to take it all in. Collins has created a world so unbelievable that you can barely wrap your mind around it and yet it feels like something that could maybe happen one day. Like Plutarch says in Mockingjay... "But collective thinking is usually short-lived. We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction."
It seems it may only be a matter of time before the human race takes things a step too far.
I have a million more things I need to say but since I just completed the book like 10 minutes ago... I still have some reflecting to do.
