Mockingjay




Surviving two deadly games was no windfall…
Leading a rebellion was an overthrow…
A story of revenge, blood-splattered mayhem, unyielding struggle, unremitting sacrifices, and terrifying quest for freedom and peace, Mockingjay, the final installment of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy, is a remarkable literary success and history. The victor becomes the ‘mockingjay’, the emblem of rebellion against the ruling Capitol…
The events that occurred were overwhelming. Katniss’ survival from the bleeding battleground was not a promise of safety and immunity; rather, it detonated the Capitol’s anger and thirst for revenge. She must pay for the insurgence that she inspired. But not only she was not secured—everyone was at the verge of a burning hell created by the domineering Capitol.
Within the story, you will find the images of painful death, the depravity of bloody battles, the face of brokenness, the sweet taste of love, the importance of family, the joy of freedom, and the rejuvenating feeling of emancipation and redemption. The book begins with a promising pulse, but its blasting finish will leave you longing for more. I was awestruck by its perfect pace, irresistible humanity, compelling plot, and interesting backdrop.
It was heartbreaking that Katniss, Peeta, Gale, and I should part ways. I really enjoyed our company from The Hunger Games to Catching Fire and finally to Mockingjay. When I uncovered the unanticipated finish of their unforgettable and exciting saga, I couldn’t help but pine for their adventures and precarious feats.  However, I was grateful for the chance to bond with them—and many other promising characters—and to follow their story, because it was fun, it made me cry, and it taught me so many things. I applaud for Suzanne Collins!

A Torch Against the Night

“Your emotions make you human, Elias said to me weeks ago in the Serran Range. Even the unpleasant ones have a purpose. If you ignore them, they just get louder and angrier.” Although this book is a best-seller, I cannot say that this is a can’t-put-it-down read because it took me several weeks to finish flipping on its pages. To be honest, it was a tedious start. But as the story built up, it brought me to different places and introduced me to other interesting characters. I found it a good read. At times, it was a breathtaking feat following Elias and Laia on their journey as they run for their lives. I was thrilled while racing with them away from the Martial soldiers who hunt them and consider them fugitives of the Empire. The long and menacing expedition required me some deep breaths, but I was enamored by Laia’s bravery to defy and fight the enemies in order to save her brother—who is believed to be the key to the Scholars’ survival—from the treacherous prison. And Elias, ...

The Wise Man's Fear

At the Waystone Inn, he moved like clockwork, like a wagon rolling down the road in well-worn ruts. As my journey and adventures with Kvothe continues, I find myself plummeting deeper into the life of this shrewd prodigy. He is no ordinary teenager you can find in a regular school—belligerent and content with a little knowledge and flair. He is different. He is wise, atypical and profound with a bravado rising above what is predictable from a guy his age. He is not some kind of wizard who exist in the shadow of a pretty face; he is an arcanist of unquestionable wit and potential. And there were many things that happened… “If I were Kvothe, I’d fake my death, change my name, and find some little town out in the middle of nowhere.  Then I’d open an inn and do my best to disappear.” As Chronicler readies himself to transcribe everything the legendary man will recount, I also brace myself for the likely staggering revelations. Then in a glint, I am following Kvothe as he tries...

Lizard People

Would you believe that you can meet the nicest people in the lobby of a psychiatric hospital? You have to read this book to find out what your answer would be. Mind-boggling, at times, moving but by and large,  Lizard People   is an informative book that offers to its readers a glimpse into the world of mental illness. Although this account did not really hook me like the way fantasy and adventure books capture my imagination and interest, it offered a speck of excitement and thrill—while at the same time challenged my thoughts. What’s interesting to note in this book is the tremendous role of a young boy in the life of his mentally ill mother and his quest for a cure that drives him to escape from reality into the future but only to find out he is tussling with his greatest fear—his own probable insanity. It is depressing to see that a boy as young as Ben Mander has to find a way to resolve a serious problem and set aside his adolescence for a responsibility he sh...
