I was really angry. She had fought for her all along and then, *poof* She´s dead. It didn´t hit me until she was shouting at Buttercup.I was so devastated. If I reacted by crying my eyes off, I really can´t imagine what Katniss felt like.
I was spoiled so I wasn't surprised. but nonetheless it broke my heart and of course, I cried :'( .
I sat there stunned for about ten minutes. I didn't cry until Katniss started yelling at Buttercup.
I was shocked, sad, a little angry but mostly just sad. I cried.
Surprised but not shocked. It was, after all, about children being killed to settle adult issues. And Prim had already survived two disasters - being reaped and the bombing of District 12. I still didn't see it coming though.It was a neat bookend. The Capitol killed children to manipulate the populace and then the Rebels did the same. Katniss volunteered to be a tribute to save Prim from one side, but then couldn't save her from the other.
Of all the characters, Prim's death showed how good people die senselessly in war. Finnick's death, no so much, since he volunteered to fight.
I was both sad and upset. I was sad for Katniss. I really wanted Prim to live. It was the whole reason for Katniss to do what she did. To have Prim killed was horrible and I felt like there was nothing I could do to help her.
I was shocked that she had died, then I was like NOOO!!! she can't be dead. I was really sad. I didn't expect it.
I didn't even realize she was dead until Katniss actually screamed it at Buttercup, like some others on this post. And after that, I was just like, "What?? That was really abrupt..." It seemed so random. And frankly, I wasn't too devastated, since I didn't particularly like Prim to begin with...
Is this legal to write something so sad and unexpected??? I never had a strong connection with Prim as a character until Mockingjay, so of course she dies... Don't know why I couldn't see this coming.
I couldn't believe it. Katniss had sacrificed so much for Prim to be alive and then, in the last minute, she dies. I totally hated it, I think that it was too much...
I was actually sobbing the first time I read it, could not even believe what had happened. I think Collins was very effective at depicting the senselessness of war. No other death would have had the same affect.
I yelped out NOOOOOOOOO
I wasn't that attached to Prim unlike...well, everyone. So I just felt neutral...And you may want to warn people about the spoilers...some people get royally pissed off when you don't :P
At first, I didn't realize what happened until a bit later in the book. At that point, my mood became so sad. It usually takes a lot to make me feel this devastated while reading, but this was too much. Prim was such a sweet character!!!
My reaction: Well, that sucks! :(
I liked the part where Prim died! Not necessarily because Prim died (it could have been any other important character) but I feel like it fitted with the story. I don't really like books where everyone ends up living happily ever after... It's just not realistic, just not right... I like sad endings! It maybe makes me sound sadistic or something, but I feel like Mockingjay needed something like this to happen. Without Prim's death, it would just have been... I don't know, too happy? Even if Prim's death was really sad, I feel like it was necessary. :) Loved this book by the way !
Someone spoilt it for me....but the shocker for me was when this person also said that Gale killed her!I was like, WHAT!!!
Then I read it myself and realised that Coin killed her, not Gale.
I didn't realize it-- the writing then was sloppy and confusing, it wasn't until Katniss thought, "I watched my sister become a human torch" when Snow was talking to her I understood. I started sobbing and my sister, who was beside me, started asking me, "Omg, what's wrong?" And then when I mentioned I was reading Mockingjay, she was like, "DO NOT DROP A SINGLE BOMB ON ME." because she didn't read it, but then I am like, "I won't, but Coin did. On Prim". And she started crying for Prim and shouting at me for telling :P We were creating a sobbing racket, and my mom and dad were like, "what's wrong??" and we both said a character died, and they were like, "Oh".
At first I was not understanding what was going on, so a read the page again and again until I understood the awful trouth.And then I begun to think about it in a psihological was, because a wanted to know the reason because everything is on purpose.
I cried... that was all.
i think, "oh, the end will be good".Katniss should choose between her family or her ideals
PD: Very BIG SPOILER IN THE TITLE
I was like "WHAT! No way! NO! WHY?!"
I didn't realize it. Not until Katniss was like "My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am seventeen. I have no sister."

It was only later in the chapter when it was sa..."same here. Gosh I'm getting watery-eyed just thinking about it. My heart stopped for a second and then I thought of every curse word known to man and pirate. Sigh.. too much. I hate Suzanne Collins. (i love her)

Yeah thats what I thought too.But it was very bad.
Oh, that pissed me off.
I felt like it was all for nothing. Which of course, isn't true, they were fighting for all the children of Panem.
I just finished mockingjay. I hate the fact Prim died. Of all the people in the book I think I was saddest about Prim then Finnick's death. In the book you got to know Rue a little but I felt really close to Prim.

So true,all this for prim and she dies.

I just had an epiphany. If you think about it, Prim does for Katniss what was done for her. Gave up her life so she could be safe.
I didn't even know she was dead at first. I was like "wait, what?" Then went back and read it. I wasn't too worked up though. I felt like it would happen eventually.
I thought the whole thing was really not logical. Why was she there in the first place? Obviously because Coin wanted her there. But still, it made no sense to me.
That she died didn't really upset me, but the way she died, it was just weird.
That combined with the fact that the whole point of almost everything Katniss does is about saving her sister, and she ultimately fails in doing that, I didn't like it.

When I read it was mostly pissed because toward the end learning why it happened,... how both sides was just manipulating those involved to get what they want. Just skdjfsdklfj.
Nikita wrote: "I was shocked, sad, a little angry but mostly just sad. I cried."I can relate. I felt about the same but not nearly as bad when Katniss found out that there was no District 12 anymore in Catching Fire. Prim's death was like someone had slapped me a kajillion+ times and murdered a cat in front of my face(which I would kill someone for(I really like cats)).
I was so sad about prim. I was like primmmmmm for days
