In a part of the book, there is a part where Katniss is talking about and discribing a nakes girl. she also talks breifly about sex. And I don't know why common sense media diddn't say anything about this, but there is a part where a main chricter is brutily beaten with a whip and then vividly discribes his wounds and recovery. And if you ask me, that my be hard for some people to handle.

I think it was 10 times better than 'Twilight'. Katniss's pain was so strong after loosing the people she cares for, I can feel her agony and grief through the pages. All Bella did was worry of everyone's safety when she never lost anyone too close like how Katniss lost her father and so many other people. She has reason to worry. Pick up Mockingjay, the story just gets better and sadder.

My MOST favorite book in the Hunger Games trilogy! About everyone else' too. Crammed with action, suspense, and the terror of an evil government, this is probably one of the best books for teens in the bookstores. It gives teens a good beginners lesson on corrupt governments and thoughts about a dark future where the Constitution was a thousand years ago. The action would definitely be to boys liking, though the ongoing and torn romance would definitely make them disgusted. What drove me, past the darkness of rebellion and the shadow of the Capitol in this book, was the thirst for justice for the lovable characters that were killed for terrible reasons and all the devastation caused by the Capitol. Despite the deep depression and consequence embedded in the pages of this book, the readers will be driven to finish this epic tale of Katniss Everdeen to seek the truth of peace and justice. On the bad side, this book, like its precedor, carries some heavy and mature themes. Katniss has to return to an arena where children, and this time adults, have to kill each other in hideous ways to win the games and survive. The main character also has pretend, though she truly is, in love with another victor in the Hunger Games and some of the ways this was expressed I didn't consider appropriate. Haymitch, one of the characters, is a HEAVY drinker. The book is overall very dark and at times VERY depressing. You often feel as if the main character and everyone around her was sinking deeper and deeper into a black hole and unable to get out. Almost all the characters have distinctive flaws that play a lot in their actions and thoughts. A few are sweet and long-suffering, but this is not a good role model book. Despite these flaws, this is a GREAT book for tweens and teens alike. They will be glued till the end and then they'll think, "Wow, that was prize-winning!"

I loved this! Even more then the first one It was hard to put it down and many times ithought she can't do that NO! but i loved it. P.S I am Team Gale! All the way....

one of my fave's! the plot gets more intense, and the characters and storylinge never falter! however, the violence in the arena may be sensitive to younger kids. people die in gruesome ways; poisonous gases, bloodthirsty monkies, tsunamis, etc. peeta and katniss kiss; peeta pretends katniss is pregnant to gain favor from the croud. in the end, a large region is destroyed, where many families live. **SPOILER ALERT** however, nobody in katniss' family is killed. anyways, an awesome book any kid over eleven should read!

This book is amazing, and as great if not greater than The Hunger Games. Easily earns five stars.

this book is good because it talks about what is going on in the world know

this is my favorite book series. in this book there is alot of violance but not much worse than the second. there is a little bit of kissing but its not extreem. Katniss has nightmares from the past hungar games and so Peeta comforts her all through the night regularly. nothing happens though. this is an exalant book and suprises at every chapter. be ready to stay up all night reading i reccomend this book for any teen 13 and up

This was an excellent read! It's fast paced and grips you from start to finish. Though personally I like the first one a little bit better. The only two things that I think are iffy for some tweens and teens are: violence, but not as detailed or frequent as in the first book. And some of the things that people wear, think, say, and/or do is a bit disturbing. Other than that I recommend this book.
