I liked this book, and I'm currently comparing it to the other two, which I gave each half a star more on the rating, but they we're all about the same in the suspense and action. I unfortunately was expecting more out of this one then I got, but it was still worth it.
I'm not surprised how much Katniss got hurt, sometimes I think she deserved that specific one. But the other characters, for one example, Finnick, shouldn't have died, especially the way he did. I gasped during my test when I read that part, and my teacher yelled at me, but oh well. I also can't believe what happened to so many people, and oh god Primrose, I wanted to cry, that duck tail, it made me so sad.
I love the people who helped them, and of course the ending, well before the exact ending, but you'll figure it out. Boggs was smart, and tried to help down to his last breath, telling her to trust no one, which gave her the incentive to shoot Coin, approved, I thought Coin was a bitch and needed to die, and I'm pretty sure Snow was lying about the bombs thing, especially the way he started laughing when Coin died. I don't even care about that, Coin was rude, and was trying to kill her, and Snow died anyways, and he was going to die a slow horrible death eventually anyways without his poison. Tigris is an amazing person, housing them, feeding them, being their spy, I guess what else could she do, she had been a stylist, and had seen quite a few kids off to the Games, and she was angry at Snow, so of course she would help, it only benefited her.
I'm not sure about the ending ending though. I think it was a cute way to end the story, but at the same time, she swore she would never have kids, but I guess that swear means nothing anymore without the Games. But still she had the kids, and it's been 20 years and shes still having nightmares, and oh god just thinking about the book reminds me about Annie, first she lost Finnick, then she had his baby, that would be a horrible thing to happen to someone whose already mostly gone to begin with. I feel horrible for these fictional characters, they went through so much in such a short amount of time, from skin grafting to watching their best friends get decapitated, and helping a rebellion, and then taking out the rebellion, watching your little sister light on fire, and all those other kids too, also having the guy your so distraught over trying to kill you the instant he sees you.
This is my longest review yet I think, I just had so many things to say about this book that stuck in my head perfectly, and it was such an amazing book. Suzanne Collins is a gifted author, I'm glad I was recommended by my friends to read these books, they were well worth it, and they also made me hate the movie. Just saying the movie sucked ass compared to the book. Can't wait for Catching Fire.
I'm currently reading Gone by Lisa McMann, the final book in the Wake trilogy.
