I cried so much at the part where Buttercup came back...
Anyways, I thought the ending could have explained a little more. Like what happened with Gale? What are they doing with the government now? And I wish Suzanne Collins would have made Snow have a "special" kind of death. I mean, I'm glad he's dead and all, but "he just got mauled by the crowd.. so yeah." that doens't really suit to my expectations. qq I think I liked the first book the best. The love plot was kind of interesting, but it sometimes got a bit annoying. it should have stuck with Peeta and Katniss just pretending to be in love, and then they.. I don't know.. Stopped.. I don't have a very creative mind. That's why I read books, not write them. :::::)))))))
I also love how the author slowed down a bit at the ending to explain at least SOME things, and showed jus exactly how life was then, after the war, and even after the book's end.
But in whole, I thought the series was great and wish it was longer. Also do you guys have any suggestions for another good series? I try to find ones of 350-400 pages, so they don't get too long and boring, but I guess I could do longer. |

You must not have read the ending clearly enough. Both of those questions were answered. |

They were answered, but not that clearly. They said in Catching Fire I think that they were going to try to start a republic, but it never said if they did or not. They just named the president, and Plutarch the head of communication. And also I either forgot or it didn't say what happened to Beetee. He was one of my favorite characters.
And Gale, the only thing it explained was that "he got some fancy new job in district 2." and that katniss is relieved. Need more detail, I guess. |

| You're also wrong about President Snow. He wasn't mauled by the crowd, he choked on his own blood after Katniss shot President Coin. Then he died. |

| Because Gale was also one of my favorite characters, also. I'd just like to know what he's doing... |

A lot of people here will hate it on sight (due to the movies). But... the book is actually well written, clever. |

Actually in the book I think it's Haymitch or Plutarch who says "We don't know exactly what his cause of death was. Mauled by the crowd or choked on his own blood to ddeaathhhh. :O" |

I made sure I read the first book before I watched the movie. I agree, it was terrible. They left out so many important parts... But I also read in an interview with Liam Hemsworth that Suzanne Collins actually took part in making the script, so that confuses me a bit.
And also, it annoys me because a lot of people keep saying it's a rip off of Battle Royale, but it's not really, other than children/teenagers fighting to the death. But the plot of Hunger Games was completely different from it. |

Try the rangers aprentice series. Its really intresting. It has things like
"Flying explosive heads," he muttered almost to himself, "These rangers really are pecular"
"I think its a matter of they think we think there going to A, so theyre going to do B, but we think there going to do B, so we have to prepare for an attack at noon, not dawn."
There are more, but I forgot them. But its an amazing series, |

I love the hanging tree song,
"Are you, Are you, coming to the tree? Where they strung up a man who they say murdered three? Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be, If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree." |
