Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

***WARNING*** If you plan to read The Hunger Games Trilogy, and have not yet or you have not finished reading Mockingjay, DO NOT READ THIS POST.

I am finished with Mockingjay now, and I am so sad!!!  I had a good, little cry last night as I finished the book.  I feel so sorry for the three main characters of this book; Katniss, Peeta, and Gale.  In the end, the capitol is finally brought down, and President Snow does indeed die; however, it did not happen the way I thought it would!  As in the other two books, the third and final book is filled with many plot twists and complications and several of the beloved characters meet their doom.  I am a little disappointed in the ending because it does not leave the reader with a sense of hopefulness for the remaining characters.  It is a dreary ending.  Yes, they are finally safe, however their lives have been so changed and tragic that it makes the reader wonder if it really will get better in the future.  Katniss has lost her entire family, in one way or another, as well as Peeta.  Gale still has his mother and siblings, but has lost Katniss.  I can't stop thinking about it...
