At the beginning of the school year all my friends were raving about this book. They all said they loved it but they didn't end the way they thought it would. They were wrong.
For some strange reason they didn't think the characters hocked up right even though it was obvious from the start. I guess they thought that Katniss would end up with Gale like the beginning of the series would have suggested. When someone goes through a great trauma they can't be with someone who doesn't understand their pain because if you can't understand their pain you can't understand them. That fact alone made Katniss and Gale impossible. For a while I thought it might be Katniss and Finnick but that too became impossible when he married his life long love Annie.
So really, the ending was predicable. The whole series was predicable and gave me that gut wrenching feeling of lonely that I try so hard to avoid. The final book in the series gets a 7 parachutes out of 10 from me. It was good and depressing. Killer combo. Excuse me while I go drown my sorrows in Ink Heart and Chocolate.
