My Thoughts
This book is actually great! The only part i don't like is about Prim. When i realized what happened, i cried. Towards the end the book got sadder and sadder with all the deaths that kept occurring. But i don't know why people don't like this book so much. I guess they don't like the book on the ending. Yes the ending with Prim and everything was sad but i'm happy that Katnis ended up with Peeta in the end. I didn't know i was team Peeta until this book. But overall i loved it. I guess Katnis doesn't speak with Gale anymore based on the end. IDK. But i wish this wasn't the end of a great trilogy.
I completely agree!! I cried as well with each death, actually. I thought the very end was pretty good, where a lot of others hated it. I enjoyed the way she covered what happened with them and didn't leave us wondering exactly how things went for them. I am sad that Katniss didn't seem to talk much to her mother, and at all to Gale. I understand with what happened that things would be strange between her and Gale, but to not speak is upsetting, at least we know he was eventually happy as well..
ReplyDeleteYeah, I hated that so many of the good guys dropped dead one after another in this last book. I think I took Finnick the hardest. I was cursing a lot while I read this, my version of the crying. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat had me in pieces was what happened to Peeta. I admit I was Team Gale until Peeta tried choking Katniss. That turned me 180°, I just couldn't accept this is how they should end. And this new dark and snarky Peeta... he was kinda cool. I liked how everything fell in place with a lot of hard work. =)
