  15. SPOILERS.

    I just finished it. (1) I haven't cried like that since Harry Potter 6. The book was a huge success on that front. However, (2) I didn't LOVE the book. I wasn't as caught up in it. I missed the hunger games, the immediacy and suspense of them. I was speed-reading a ton of the middle, especially the stuff "for the camera," since I knew it didn't matter.

    But yay, team Peeta. I kind of wished there had been more Peeta make-up at the end, though. Oh well.

    And Finnick died. I sped-read through that scene and missed it (whoops) and heard it from Katniss later. But you know what, it's better that way. It's like it didn't really happen. I've cried enough.

  16. ***SPOILERS***

    Awww Jaimie * hugs* I cried too. But just when she and the cat finally make friends at the end because Prim was dead. It was such a small moment of niceness in so much sadness and I broke down.

  17. You read it with cake?? No wonder your response was so much sweeter! :) I finally wrote back over on my blog, but yeah, I think you're right in that it's definitely a thinking book, and one that's made for discussion.

  18. @ Elizabeth Yeah ... but it doesn't make it less sad, I know!!

    Also, cake makes everything better. Hands down.
