Mockingjay. *Spoiler Alert*

********Spoiler Alert**********

Okay, I finished Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins the day after it came out, and now that most of the people I know are done with it and I have had my ranting time, I want to give my full opinion.

Before I began, I knew I loved Gale, Cinna and Katniss. In Chapter one of the book, Katniss reveals that sources told her Cinna died during capitol interrogation. I say no body, no proof, he's not dead. The reason I say this is because I have an intense love for Cinna and am happy to be in denial if it keeps him alive. As I continued reading, what seemed to have made a lot of people hate Gale, made me respect him more and more. a lot seem to hate him for a lot of the choices he made, but I think he only did what he knew had to be done. Katniss seemed to grow weaker and weaker and eventually her character became useless to me. I'm happy she didn't end up with Gale because he deserves so much better than her (I'm single!).

This brings me to Peeta. WHAT THE FRAK!!!!!!!!! He was apparently brainwashed by the Capitol into hating Katniss, led him to want to kill her, and in the later chapters seemed to be buddying up with Gale, who seemed to hate him in the first two books! He ended up with Katniss in the end and she had children for him WHICH WAS STUPID! Actually, the entire epilogue was stupid.

Finnik Odair. Loved him. He became one of my favorite characters along with Prim. Finnik was there for Katniss to talk to because he was a mental patient and they (the rebels) didn't let him really do anything. When he finally got the chance to do something after marrying his love, Annie, HE DIED. >:(. Not. Fair. Neither he nor Prim ever got the justice they deserved. Their deaths were treated as minor and I so didn't appreciate it.

Later, after all was said and done and they had President Snow captured, the rebellion wanted to create a Hunger Games for Capitol children. GENOCIDE!!! The Capitol children didn;t deserve that, and Katniss went along with it! No! No! No! No! NO! (Thankfully Katniss actually did something smart an killed Coin who was a power hungry _____ throughout the entire book.

In the end, Peeta went off with Katniss and they never saw Gale again, Cinna, Finnik and Prim all died, and Haymich returned to his alcoholism. Not what I expected and I hated the end.

****NOTE TO READER*****

I still love the series and I wrote this while wearing my mockingjay necklace. I'm just mad about the end.

STICK THAT IN YOUR GRATER AND CHEEZE-IT!!
