The series is great. The author is Suzanna Collins, who also wrote the Underland Chronicles. It's another good series. However, this series is much more serious than the other. The Mockingjay is a great book in which the author kills off all the characters. She starts with the kind-of-small characters, to more important characters, to one of the main characters. Still, the whole series is an intriguing read, and I couldn't stop reading them once I started. I even re-read the series two or three times...?!

Anyways... yeah. Don't be hating on the Mockingjay.
