I am also not a fan of the ending. I thought the whole serious was drawing things out "lets talk about this for PAGES" then the ending was sudden and abrupt and inconclusive in some ways. For example I would have really liked to see something come to a head about Katniss and Haymitch voting to hold a hunger games for capital children. Was this a plan to show Coin they were on her side? Was it how they really felt?
I agree. The ending was very abrupt and pretty lame. I grew to hate Katniss as the trilogy progressed, so I practically just screwed the love triangle; it was getting on my nerves. Like how all love triangles end, one goes with the protagonist, while the other gets screwed at the last minute. It happens in literally every single book with a love triangle. -_- The only relationship I liked in this book was Finnick and Annie's...and look at how that turned out :(
Hmmm... I guess I don't agree here -- it's all about verisimilitude -- it's how things happened, how things unfolded... Collins is pretty brutally realistic and does NOT cave in to Hollywood endings... That's just one more reason why I loved this series more than all of Harry Potter (my kids raked me over the coals when I expressed THAT opinion!).
Gale would have been like, hmmm... by today's standards, the "the local high school football hero" -- ugh...
