You could always jump on a plane!<br />Emily, I almost called you to apologize for getting you to read the series after I finished Mockingjay. Glad you are still talking to me! =)yamseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000983516759119710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333017849348650712.post-25995693585381231402010-09-13T13:02:10.310-04:002010-09-13T13:02:10.310-04:00I've been waiting for your review, Erin! I SO...I've been waiting for your review, Erin! I SO wish I could have been to the last book club to hole up in a corner with those that had finished MJ and just chatted it out. I agree completely with your review. You must be quicker than me because I totally didn't see Prim's death coming. In fact, I was initially confused as to who had been killed (until I stopped long enough to think Prim was the only one that could have elicited that response from Katniss). I totally agree that she ruined all the characters and left whatever "happy" ending she was aiming for inadequate in the least. Great review! And, despite the poor conclusion, I owe you an overdue thanks (I believe I already apologized) for introducing the series to me in the first place! :)Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510809398004975809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333017849348650712.post-62933828265801109152010-09-12T19:03:01.206-04:002010-09-12T19:03:01.206-04:00I think what it really did was make it possible fo...I think what it really did was make it possible for Katniss to kill Coin.<br />To see that the next form of government was going to be run in the same way for revenge.<br />I agree I was upset with Prim's death.<br />I did put the book down and then had to finish the book.<br />I Loved the first and the second.<br />I was prepared however for the last book, I was warned that it was darker and sadder then the other two.<br />I was relieved very relieved when Coin became the target of the assasination. It would have been a worthless war and countless lives taken for another barbaric government, under Coin.<br />It was in my opinion a way for Coin to show that she had power over Katniss, but it was Katniss who had the power. Katniss in her experiance could not allow revenge to drive her to allow the Hunger Games to be done with the Capitol. GO KATNISS! This was an act of mercy.<br />I Loved the series. I am sad to see it end. But hoping the MOVIE is going to be good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659100736835457250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333017849348650712.post-14924206917851547662010-09-12T11:45:34.295-04:002010-09-12T11:45:34.295-04:00I would love to talk to you about this book in a b...I would love to talk to you about this book in a book club setting. I agree with you about the casualness in which she killed off main characters. It was like she was in a hurry for a deadline and just wanted to emphasize her agenda as much as possible. C'mon let's give us some closer to Finnick. I think he was more of a major character, then to just kill him off with no mention of him again (except through Annie's baby.) Actually, I'm surprised Annie didn't just kill herself after hearing the news. She definitely is not the most stable--what kind of mother is she going to make. This is not a happy ending. I can go on and on. Thanks for your review. It made me smile to read it.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719889954039893775noreply@blogger.com
