After reading the book in one sitting after I had seen the Hunger Games for my second time, I am speechless!!! The beginning of the book was not my favorite part of the book at all, but I loved the last 5 chapters. The war seemed so intense and the entire time I was reading the book I was hoping and praying that Peeta and Katniss would just be together. I love Gale an everything, but Gale is nothing compared to Peeta<3. Peeta just embodies what a girl really wants….We do not want an Edward Cullen…Thats a torured soul… though Peeta has been through so much lol…What I found is that I want a man just like Peeta because he says the right things at all the right times, he treats Katniss the way she is suppposed to be treated, and there is just something about a guy admitting his feelings to a girl that just breaks my heart. I think it took Katniss a long time to realize she loved Peeta because she was so scared…not to love him, but scared of life…scared of failing and scared of loosing her purpose in life…If she lost her family and friends…then why would she continue on living? I think that once everything was finnished and Coin was killed… the mist of fear that fogged her for so longjust disipated like it did in the third quarter quell. Peeta and Katniss forever<3 So, in my mind I am katniss, and well, I got to marry and love Peeta Mellark!
