The Hunger Games

I know I've been on quite a rabbit-trail, not blogging about justice topics and such, but permit me to rage for a moment's time.

I read the Hunger Games in a period of about two weeks.

*SPOILER ALERT*

This trilogy is disgusting. I expected the ending to be completely satisfactory, but knew that (due to Essentially B's "disappointing" warnings) there would be something wrong about it.

There was much disappointment. By the time I reached the last page of the last book I was balling my eyes out because Prim died, and Prim was the only reason the whole entire trilogy was even possible. The fact that we know nothing about Gale after the last bombing is weird. I mean, if Collins wanted to end the relationship between him and Katniss so dramatically, I am sure she could have killed him off or something. just like all the other great characters (sarcasm: merely pointing out that everyone died).
I love that Peeta and Katniss end up living happily ever after though. That is exactly what I wanted to happen.
Ugh. It just was not a satisfying ending. Collins could have done a better job working out the relationships and I am sure the read could have been a little more desirable.
In fact, she should have made Peeta and Katniss live happily ever after in the Hunger Games, and cut Gale out then, considering he was ignored and off in his own little world by the end of Mockingjay.
SO DISAPPOINTING.
