Mockingjay is the third book in the Hunger Games series. It begins the start of the revolution to take over the capital. The setting starts off with Katniss in district 12, her old district. She explains how her district is burnt to the ground, destroyed by fire and bombs. "Almost nothing remains of district 12. A month ago, the Capitol's firebombs obliterated the poor coal miners' houses in the seam, the shops in the town, even the Justice Building." (Collins 3) All of her people have been moved to district 13, where they sleep in tiny rooms underground. I would never be able to do that because I would freak out.
Suzanne Collins was born on August 10, 1962 in Hartford, Connecticut. She is the daughter of a U.S. Air Force Officer, and graduated from Indiana University in 1985. She worked on several television shows for Nickelodeon, including Clarissa Explains It All, The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo, Little Bear, and Oswald. Strangely, I have heard of none of those television shows. In September of 2008, Collins released The Hunger Games, the first book in the trilogy. Catching Fire was released September 2009, and is my personal favorite. Lastly, Mockingjay was released in August of 2010. Suzanne Collins now lives in Connecticut with her husband and two children.
I chose Mockingjay to read because I read the first two books in the series but did not read this one because everyone said it is very confusing. Now, after watching the movie for Catching Fire I am very stoked to start reading! I'm ready for some major plot twists and will blog about them as I read them!
