"Fans will be happy to hear that Mockingjay is every bit as complex
and imaginative as Hunger Games and Catching Fire."
-Entertainment Weekly
"Suspenseful... Collins' fans, grown-ups included, will race to the
end."
-USA Today
"At its best the trilogy channels the political passion of 1984,
the memorable violence of A Clockwork Orange, the imaginative
ambience of The Chronicles of Narnia and the detailed inventiveness
of Harry Potter."
-New York Times Book Review
"Unfolding in Collins' engaging, intelligent prose and assembled
into chapters that end with didn't-see-that-coming cliffhangers,
this finale is every bit the pressure cooker of its forebears.
[Mockingjay] is nearly as shocking, and certainly every bit as
original and thought provoking, as The Hunger Games. Wow."
-Los Angeles Times
*"This concluding volume in Collins's Hunger Games trilogy
accomplishes a rare feat, the last installment being the best yet,
a beautifully orchestrated and intelligent novel that succeeds on
every level."
-Publishers Weekly, starred review
