Ole Reykjavik olereykjavik — Remember in the 1982 film version of "Annie" when the entourage of rough and tumble--yet oh-so-adorable--orphans dance around singing that it's an "empty belly life! / Rotten smelly life! / Full of sorrow life! / No tomorrow life!"...? It's a song that played in my head for the large majority of this trilogy. I finished reading this a couple of weeks ago and for some reason hadn't gotten around to reviewing it yet. Like "Catching Fire," the third book in the trilogy isn't quite the ride that the first Hunger Games novel is. I honestly don't much hold that against the second and third books though; the first is a hard-to-top sort of tale. By the time we reach this part of the narrative, the Districts are moving toward full-scale rebellion. After the shenanigans pulled in the Arena in "CF," Katniss has become the face of the rebellion, and "Mockingjay" follows her journey into a game of an entirely different sort - one in which she must play leader for a series of supposedly more moral/just figures and forces against the Capital and the ever-monstrous President Snow. One might be tempted to warn against believing that there's greener grass in the other pasture. Of course this is something Katniss already knows well, but Collins does take us through an interesting turn in the story, when it becomes clear that, in the case of war, there's rarely a true "good guy" in the old battle-between-good-and-evil yarn. There's something to be said for the fact that, even without the Annual Game in this book, Collins is able to to invest the action of the later part of the novel with the same inventiveness and fascination that the Games provided for the first two books. I won't spoil anything, but know that this book is really. effing. bleak. They're all horrible tales of young'ns and old'ns alike living no-tomorrow-lives, but the third book in particular features brutality in a way that, to my mind, hits a bit harder. Perhaps it's by virtue of the fact that you've spent, what?, 800+ pages with these characters at this point? Perhaps it's that the losses aren't as expected as they are when characters are in the Arena. Maybe it's just the sad fact that you're holding out hope that everything will go as planned & the rebels will simply dispatch with Pres Snow with minimal grief. If you're unable to accept that sometimes shit happens, and that shit can be real bad, you may want to turn back now.
