I had issues with how she used the boys, and actually did not like Katniss all that much. The ending, to me, didn't seem to fit in the same world. Her going nuts, being all confined did not show strength in my eyes, and neither did her getting married and having children.
The entire time she had said she didn't want it, or them. And yet here we have an epilogue that is exactly that. Yes, the threat is gone, but to change completely? For a moment I was excited that maybe it wasn't about the romance after all.
I too, was bombarded with are you team Peeta or team Gale? which I did not approve of at once. I feel like Peeta was shoved down my throat. I liked him, I liked them both. But has a firey person myself, I think her reasoning for not choosing Gale was horrible. I feel for Gale the most. He was her best friend, and he thought he could be more and unrequited love is the hardest thing for me, and hits home.
It was very gruesome, I agree. Finnick's death really got me. I was listening at work, to the audiobooks and had to go to the bathroom a few times because I was crying and anyways. this comment is rambly and i am not sure that I even have a point.
I am excited about the movie, to see what they do with it, how they got it to stay pg-13. A lot of the extras are from my theatre's youth theatre so that is exciting! the "boy with the backpack" was slightly in our production of peter pan last season! good times :)
