Follow Friday (9)


Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

Q. If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? Why and to what?

Mockingjay, a.k.a. the end to The Hunger Games series!!!!

SPOILERS...

I HATED the ending to Mockingjay. Seriously!!! Ug. There were so many things I wanted to be different, with numero 1 being that I really hated that Prim died. I mean, WHY THE FACE!!! (High five to anyone who got that Modern Family reference) The whole reason Katniss does the Hunger Games is to save Prim, then she dies at the end anyway?!? WHYYYYYYY???

And 2, I hated that Collins cut the final action scene so abruptly. It was getting so awesome and exciting and then, WHAM, she cuts to, like, sometime in the future. I have no idea why she cut out what would have been the most climatic scene. I mean, isn't that usually the most important part?

I won't go on and on about all the other things I didn't like about the ending to Mockingjay, but if you want to read my review, you can find it here. And actually, I did like the book overall, it was just the ending that killed me.

  1. LOL! Between Mockingjay and Breaking Dawn, there are a lot of unhappy people out there. I chose Mockingjay also, especially because of Prim.

  2. Hopping through. I didn't like Mockingjay either. I hated that they basically ignored Finnick's death. I thought he deserved a good mourning.

  6. Mockingjay seems to be the leader as the answer to this week's question. I'm starting to feel better and better about not reading it!

  7. I liked the Hunger Games series overall, but I would like to change a few things. Prim's death for me was really unexpected, also, Finnick needed a more noble death (they didn't even go into detail about his death, they just left him!), and Gale just randomly leaving was just wrong for such a good friend to do. This being said, I also actually like the book! Feel free to check out my FF here. Returning follower!

  8. Mockingjay is definitely a popular answer. I definitely can see why. I went with Forever & Breaking Dawn myself.

  10. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I picked Mockingjay as well. What Suzanne Collins did to Gale just wasn't right.
