This. Hunger Games had great character development, twists, and an exciting plot.

Catching Fire also had a great and interesting story but towards the end it got kind of messy.

Certain plot points in Mockingjay ( Peeta's brainwashing, assassinating Snow ) were really rushed and given kinda crappy rushed endings, so it was the weakest, but I still enjoyed it.

I actually didn't mind the whole Peeta thing. What irked me was Prim's death I literally had to go back and read that part about 2 more times because I wasn't even sure if it was real or just a dream. And after so many deaths , it was just too far. But I agree that everything at the end of the book (the Coin assasination and aftermath, Gale saying about 3 words to her and them never talking again) was so horribly rushed. And don't get me started on the Epilogue..

Rock That Beat...

Am I really the only one who loved the last one the most? The first one is perfect I know, the second one is great but I don't really like it because there isn't that much happening, it's just Hunger Games all over again with a few extras. The last one is full of action and so many things happen and the ending isn't that bad.

Catching Fire >>>>>>> HG > MJ
As will the movie be!

THG>=CF>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MJ

THG was pure perfection, and CF followed the same formula, with great action sequences, never getting offline and with this "substance" that both had, that made you read the next book just when you finished one.

And then there was MJ. Without the same formula, really forced, boring at some parts and slow, action sequences unnecessarily over described, not many things happen and even more Katniss' mental breakdowns were just the pits.

I really ended hating Katniss because her character was just too overdone. in the end, she hadn't a mission, an objective and it was just full of stupid emotional sentences, and then paragraphs, and then complete chapters about it.

I can't say I didn't like MJ, but I still have mixed feelings about it. What I can certainly affirm is that I did hate the end. It was way too rushed as some of you said, and Katniss and Peeta's ending was just like bleh.

A really conformist attitude from Katniss was just... ugh.

I wonder if Suzanne was really being rushed to write a final part and she wrote this kind of ending. I expected something more romantic (for K-P ending), but after Peeta's brainwash I knew it wouldn't be the same. At least she should have took an specific direction, like making it a "happily ever after" ending, or a really tragic one for Katniss ( with everyone one including Prim, her mom, Gale and even Peeta and spending the rest of her time alone, as she really deserved), but not this silly end.

Sorry for writing an essay, but I just can't.
