I finished Mockingjay (SPOILERS)

The ending didn't disappoint me like everyone else says. Yes it was sad, but it gave so much good outcome that the main character sacrificed herself for. It was like a moral (Catch Katniss talking about how stupid humans are? That was a moral)

If you don't know what I am talking about, this is the third in the Hunger Games Trilogy. The cover of the book looks like this:

So, yeah.

I don't like how she didn't participate in the end of the war.

Re: I finished Mockingjay (SPOILERS)

DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING.

I've read the first two, I'm reading the third now.

The Hunger Games is the best book series of all time. No questions asked.

Great series-es (multiple series). However, it's Pendragon. Not Bobby Pendragon. I own all 10 within the series.

You ever read Morpheus Road? It's also by D.J. MacHale.

I've read HP, of course. Everyone has.

I read the first three books of Percy Jackson but read The Hunger Games and got hooked onto that series.

Re: I finished Mockingjay (SPOILERS)

For some reason, I haven't started reading them yet, even though so many people I know say they're really good. I have the first one; I'll have to read it when I have more time.

Chronicles of Ancient Darkness Never heard of these last two.

There's also Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter (which I don't really like though), The Bourne Books, Percy Jackson and the Olympians and its new series, the Ghostgirl series, etc.

What's wrong with Twilight? Have you ever read the books for yourself? It is you who is flamebaiting by saying this. I enjoyed the Twilight books several times more than the first Percy Jackson book. In my opinion, it was very badly written. It got better after the second book though.

Well, the ending is fitting.

Totally happy endings are so 10 years ago.

I think the new percy series is better, but not the Kane chrinicles or whatever. I liked The Lost Hero.
But not better then the hunger games

1.  Really?  I think it's the most well written book I've read.
2.  I assume you only watched the movie or read only the first book.
However I am leading this offtopic.  Excuse me, return to Mockingjay.
