Mockingjay – Weekly Reading Response Blog

I am reading the third book of the Hunger Games series, and I find it such a good book. This is one of my favorite series of books I have ever read.

Answer #1: What I like about the book is that it involves a lot of action, and it catches your attention really fast. I haven’t wanted to put the book down. Since district 13 is about to go to war and try to capture the capitol, I just want to keep on reading. One thing I don’t like is how it has taken them so long to finally attack the capitol.

Answer #2: What made me ask a question is that why the capitol did only affected some of Peeta’s memories of Katniss. I think they only affected the ones that the capitol knew about. If they would of known of other memories, everything could be a lot worse.

Answer #4: Something that really surprised me in this book is how bad the capitol was able to change Peeta. I knew they were cruel but I did not expect them to be as cruel as injecting tracker jacker poison (a very poisonous venom found in human like wasps). They are very lucky that they did not end up killing Peeta.
