Dear Suzanne Collins,
I just finished reading Mockingjay, the last book of the Hunger Games series. I loved the whole entire series, and each book was a different situation and a different part of Katniss’ feelings and emotions. Nothing in the story was repeated or reused twice. I never knew who Katniss would choose, Gale or Peeta. I loved both of those characters and they each had their own unique qualities.
Your writing style was great. I didn’t suspect parts of the book to happen, events just kept popping out from every direction. Some parts were scary, some parts were exciting, and some made me want to cry, either because of the amount of joy you put out or the event was really sad. Like when Katniss was in the Capitol square and half of the silver parachutes went off and Prim went in to go help those who received one of those parachutes. I thought everything was done, and then the book read, “That’s when the rest of the parachutes went off”. I almost cried, knowing that the book just seemed to become extremely painful to read.
There was only one part of the book in which I didn’t agree with: Gale. I thought when he got captured by the Peacekeepers, he would be dead or if he did get out alive, he would still be great friends with Katniss and he would never let her out of his sight. But instead, he got out alive and got a fancy job in District 2, never to be heard of again. I wondered if they were still friends or they just broke off their relationship with each other, because Gale was mad at Katniss for something.
Out of the three books, my favorite was the Hunger Games and Mockingjay. The Hunger Games seemed to open everything up and set the plot for everything else. It was great and I couldn’t put it down. The Hunger Games series is one of a kind; I’ve never heard or read anything like them. The Mockingjay was also great because it ended so perfectly and I really didn’t have any complaints. Once again, it was great to read and I couldn’t get my mind off of the books for several days. I’m just glad you are making a movie out of this. It seems like a great idea to me.
Sincerely,
Alex
