    I will say I was glad Katniss killed Coin, something about Coin never sat right with me. Parts of three were very long, like when they were deciding what to do with the Nut or even when they were camped outside the capital, waiting to go in. I don't know, there was so much of a rush reading 1 and 2. I am sending my niece to see the movie first, she LOVES the series and if she approves the movie, I will see it. I am just afraid they can not do the books any justice.

    I have read all three. I liked the first one the best and the third one the least. I liked the way it ended and I'm glad she ended up with peeta... I am excited about the movie. I like the girl who plays katniss, she's in another movie that I thought she did VERY well in and I think she will be perfect.

    I greatly enjoyed the books. I thought it was very original. I look at the political aspect of it and I am concerned. Its so easy to see us falling a part like that. I think it was an interesting way to talk about communism with out preaching about it. That being said I enjoyed the fact that it was about Katniss. That they didnt do the multiple points of view. I had a feeling it would end like that but I am glad it did. I don't think that Gale would have ever been able to understand the nightmare she had lived, twice. I think only Peeta could understand and except her as damaged as she was. I know someone said that they thought Finnicks and Prims deaths were some what cut and dry. That her emotion wasn't really there. But I think that when in the moment like she was grieving is on the back burner.

    I know some people have compared the political message to Orwell's 1984 and another books i cant remember the name of. I think that this is a very possible world to fall into.

    Lex is going with her class. She is really excited to be going. So she will tell you as soon as she sees it lol. Coin really bothered me too. I think it is because she was not that different than Snow. In reality if you look at the way the two played out there are a lot of similarities. She had all the control and when she was done with Katniss she would have been happy with her dead. I was SHOCKED when Katniss agreed to a capitol games, but when I read on I was very happy with the outcome.
