Review of 'Mockingjay' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The biggest issue with Mockingjay is that it takes far too long to get going. This 400-page book could easily have been turned into a 200-page novella that conveyed the same punch, but without the sense of characters overstaying their welcome.

It feels like it was written to be a movie, with plenty of filler that could be cropped out to fit a two-hour runtime.
