Mockingjay
11:01 AMYou know what's sad about reading books? It's that you fall in love with the characters. They grow on you. And as you read, you start to feel what they feel - all of them - you become them. And when you're done, you're never the same. Sure you're still you, you look the same, talk in the same manner, but something in you has changed. Something i the way you think, the way you choose, sometimes, even the things you say may differ. But it all comes down to the state you go to after a nice novel. The after-feeling. It's amazing, but somehow, you feel left alone by that world you were once in. It's overwhelming. But it makes you sad. Cause for once you were this, this otherworldly being in... Neverwhere, and then you suddenly have to say goodbye after a ferw weeks from when you read the last page. When you've recovered from that state. It's just... quite sad. --Atomos
After finishing the third and final installment, it made me realized one thing, it's like a slapped of reality on my face... IT IS NOT A ROMANCE NOVEL! It was ended fairly well (go team peeta!) however it's not a grandiose love story ending. (Orange, there are more things than romantic love! uuurrgghh!) It ended well close to reality, it's like you gain some, you lose some... a tragic loss that I broke into tears. (ahaahaayy! I got emotional, my apology!)
All through out the story is like a gloomy set up for me. The brutal scenes, horrifying ordeal and nonstop violence is all out in this book.
District Thirteen does exist. Half-hearted in a way Katniss officially took the responsibility being the symbol of rebellion against the powerful Capitol. So yes this book is prominently about war. Not just the literal war against the Capitol but the war within Katniss being. Katniss was a bit confused of everything, well being the Mockingjay is not living like a princess, the responsibility of protecting her family, her people and the rebels is in her hands.
Totally unexpected how the events played, even with some unwelcome spoilers from friends, I didn't imagine things to happen that way. I was warned that Primrose will die (uhmm maybe they just want me to ready my hanky) however still i cried a river when I read the part. Suzanne Collins has this magic of building each of the characters in the story, so whenever someone dies, it doesn't feel the same, lonely and empty.
I wasn't satisfied with the ending because Collin can end it in a much a higher note without any question inside my head but I think that's how some author do it. They wants us to think about the loop holes in their story. Uhhmmm... ssooo satisfaction increase to some bar huh??!! (i need to think! i need to think!! kunware intellectual?! LOL)
This is not a usual read for me, I go for happy ending, always happy ending because I know that there is no such thing. Since happiness is a choice and even in a bad circumstance you just need to extend those smile and just be happy. But with this Collins masterpiece, it seems that somehow it's reality... because imperfection is reality. It's flawed but real! And maybe it's the most real novel I ever read.
