This book was one hell of an emotional roller-coaster. At times I was rooting for Katniss, at others I was wondering what in the hell she was doing and feeling frustrated with her, which makes for a great character. The ending of this book definitely made me cry, in joy and sadness. I'm definitely glad that things ended up they way they did, although I had a feeling it would end that way. On another note, I just want to say how talented of a writer Collins is. She writes beautiful verses of song that happen periodically in the book and her words, spoken through many characters, are full of insight, reason and poignancy. Her writing was one of the main reasons that I enjoyed the trilogy so much, the other being that the plot was fantastic. I would recommend this book to so many people and now I have to buy the set so I can read them again!
