I hated the ending. The whoooole entire book I was hoping for a particular ending and BAM suzanne collins screwed me. 
 The first two books were AWESOME! 
 This one was a let down. 
 *update* 
 A year after reading the series, I decided to take it up again. It had a whole new meaning to me the second time around. I caught things I missed, and remembered things I had forgotten. I bawled like a baby at the end of this. The whole story is so moving, and the ending very appropriate. (view spoiler)[My only hangup is a longer ending with Katniss and Peeta, their children, or even just the two of them after they arrived home from the Capitol. (hide spoiler)]
