Instead, it was heavy-handed, slow, unsatisfying, and poorly executed. I think Collins could have made her point without sacrificing the fast pace and logical character/plot development of the first two books. Too bad she changed course at the last minute and took the trilogy with her.<br /><br />Maycee (<a href="http://www.teakatoys.com" rel="nofollow">TeakaToys</a>)<br />Irene Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603959953431879572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-74821727186844632762010-12-18T19:35:47.694-05:002010-12-18T19:35:47.694-05:00Great review!

I love the overall story and I think it's so well written and part of the reason it was a bit disappointing for me is because I was so involved in the characters' lives, and that's a good thing:) I'm with you on the romantic decision, it seemed like a default decision, as though she didn't really even make it herself, she just went along with it which is not the type of person Katniss has been the entire time. I just wanted her to own her decision in that area as much as she did everywhere else. All in all, I still love this series and gave this book a 4 even though it wasn't everything I had hoped it would be.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-34493601841727931022010-12-17T18:00:09.863-05:002010-12-17T18:00:09.863-05:00Sorry it wasn't a fabulous end to the series f...Sorry it wasn't a fabulous end to the series for you :(Kathy Habelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171521765723280086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-39124146931941725622010-12-17T16:01:24.510-05:002010-12-17T16:01:24.510-05:00Hmm... now I'm even more curious.

But honestly, I think Gale did much worse than Peeta (even though neither Gale nor Peeta acted to intentionally harm Katniss) still the end result was that he did create the bomb that killed her sister. Though I agree, it's sad that they seem never to have contact again.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-16785416997238403572010-12-17T10:34:46.412-05:002010-12-17T10:34:46.412-05:00i felt the same way, the ending was just bad reall...i felt the same way, the ending was just bad really and katniss got hurt worse then she did in both hunger games >.< <br />great review.
