3rd book... Man... What can I say?!... It is the worst one of the bunch. It was a pain to read, even though I was kinda racing to see it finished. It lacked substance and vision. I felt happy that it ended since the entire finale was highly predictable. I am sorry to say this, but that shine of genius from the first book was completely lost on this one.
There is this whole alternation between paces: it is either too fast or too frigging boring. The whole Katniss - Peeta - Gale triangle gets boring after a while. You get to a pint where you think: "bitch make your damn mind already". Thankfully in the end she did it, but it was more of a choice of circumstance. Fuck it, I am going to spoil some of it and say that the revolution succeeds. Big whoop, like you didn't see that coming a mile away.
The entire book seems a bit like a video game: now they run down the street, now they dodge a trap, now they run into a building, not they find a tunnel... Your every shooter game, from Doom1 up to... whatever games there are nowadays. The entire book lacks substance and feels shallow, there is no soul put into it. I think the book was written in order to publish something and give an ending to two bestsellers. Hopefully, turning this one into a bestseller too.
Will I watch the entire trilogy, if it ever comes out at the cinema? Definitely. Would I recommend the trilogy to others? You betcha. Am I glad that I didn't pay for these 3 books? Absolutely.
