Research on The Hunger Games.

Amanda Craig, The Times
"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. The specifics of the dystopian universe, and the fabulous pacing of the complicated plot, give the books their strange, dark charisma."

The Scotsman

"It's seldom that children's books are so eagerly anticipated... The dystopian world conjured up in Collins' Hunger Games series has taken the teenaged reading world by storm and the final part of her trilogy is a blistering and brutal winner."

Lancashire Evening Post

"All in all, Mockingjay confirms what we've suspected already - The Hunger Games isn't just a powerful saga about a unique, memorable hero struggling to do the right thing in the public gaze. It's also an important work of science fiction that everyone should read, because if you don't, you'll be left out of all the best conversations."

"Love, loss, heartbreak, the futility of war, the search for freedom and human resilience all play leading roles in this compelling and sometimes shocking story. Mockingjay does not disappoint...an epic and emotionally powerful conclusion to a momentous series."

The Visitor

"Bringing the story of the dystopian world of Panem to a close, Mockingjay is a remarkably strong book - a rare quality in the final instalment of a teen trilogy these days... Unlike similar attempts, Mockingjay doesn't hit the reader over the head with its message but is instead a startling and refreshingly honest look at the reality and long term effects of war. A challenging, powerful and remarkably intelligent read that will stay with you; definitely not just your average teen novel."

"My god, what an end to the series! I really don't know what to say. I absolutely loved it, and I think Suzanne Collins is just a genius. This has got to be one of the best series ever written."

Once Upon a Bookcase

"This is a thrilling conclusion to a very good series of novels that will engage readers of all ages."

"This is hard hitting novel. It felt as though Suzanne Collins had taken The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, baked them in the oven leaving the end result more mystifying, more emotionally shocking than its predecessors... What happens to Katniss here blew my mind away... the steps the Capitol will take to squash the Mockingjay means you need to block out time in your schedule to read this in one sitting."
