Suzanne Collins - Mockingjay

Continuing to the final book of this trilogy "The Hunger Games", and "Catching Fire", the main characters find themselves midst a revolution and full blown war effort between the Districts and The Capital. Both sides tries to manipulate the thoughts of the public as means to hang onto power. The war draws Katniss Everdeen and Peter Malark into the fight, and their thoughts are clearly reflecting them being "damaged goods" after the arena and the war. Katniss is the source, and the revolution - she does not fit into normal life at all, and has to find a way to live with that, and herself.

The book closes the story completely, in a good manner. I was left to ponder the acceptance of government, and how we create perception about our own reality. How people are manipulated to serve the good of those in power.
