Ok so recently I read the last book of the Hunger Games trilogy. I found it to be somewhat confusing and disappointing at times, but pretty good overall. Here is my main complaint:
-Katniss should have gone with Gale! She's known him longer and Peeta, once you take away all the lovey-dovey stuff and all the acting during the Games, is an uninteresting sack of mush. (some of you will disagree but this is my opinion)
-Cinna should not have died!
And here is what I did like:
-I like that Gale went back to help in the district that he bombed out. It shows his conscience.
-Absolutely LOVED the ending with Katniss's decision to shoot Coin instead of Snow. Snow wasn't a threat anymore. Coin would have ultimately killed her.
All in all, good book but I still like the first one the best.
I agree with you on the fact that the first one was the best, but come on! Towards the end of the book Gale becomes a terrorist. He murders innocents and totally sides with Coin. Peeta has shown time and time again that he cares way more about Katniss than Glad did. He doesn't get jealous of Gale. he has literally put his life on the line for her constantly.
ReplyDeleteGale is selfish, unfeeling, and very bland, I also think that he suffered from a lack of intelligence and logic. While Peeta was a master planner and extraordinarily intelligent. You can teach Peeta to shoot a bow but you can't teach Gale to plan.
Yes Katniss has known Gale longer, but Peeta is, in my opinion, a much better fit for her, primarily because Peeta can plan ahead and Katniss really can't. If she had married Gale then you would have two people in a relationship who can't think ahead. That relationship wouldn't have ended well. In a marriage, everything has to balance. Gale and Katniss would have been unbalanced, but Peeta and Katniss are balanced.
This is why I include the phrase "just my opinion" and also why you have your own blog.
