Mockingjay is the best book I have ever read. It is just simply breathtaking; once you start reading you will not put it down. Mockingjay is set in America where the world is in ruin. In America there are 13 districts and the Capitol. 75 years after district thirteen lost the war against the Capitol; they found the spark they need to set it alight... Katniss Everdeen the Mockingjay. The book is basically about the warfare between the Capitol and District 13. When Katniss goes into war she has to face blood, death and tears. My favourite part (not particularly favourite but most memorable) of the book is something so unexpected, it will shock every reader – I don’t want to ruin the ending by going into detail, but you too will experience surprise. It is a very gripping book, everyone 13 or older will love it. I give it 5 stars out of 5.
