Mockingjay!

So, I'm finished reading it.  And whatever I would say about it might reveal spoilers, and for now I'd like to avoid that.  So here's what I will say instead.  I think Collins has done a terrific job outlining a political situation for teens, and I hope that it will lead teens to ask questions about politics and the political process around the world.  I hope it will lead them to become more savvy instead of more accepting.  And even though the Katniss-Gale-Peeta situation didn't turn out the way I thought it might (I'm not saying how... ;)), I appreciated that Collins made it understandable, and the choice was obvious at the end.  It was definitely an adrenaline rush!
