We have spoilers tags now, might as well use them.

drak, that's a fair point. I hadn't had a great deal of time to think about the rebels' actions all that much. However, other than the scene where they bombed the children, what have the rebels really done that was so awful? They don't "entomb" the district 2 workers -- they leave them a path out. The last and final Hunger Games was clearly the brainchild of Coin and Plutarch, (and I'm surprised we get no comment about those games from Katniss later or any guilt from her in voting for them,) so I don't know that it even ever actually happens. I'm not convinced poverty and starvation are gone, considering we don't really hear much about what happens outside of 12 at the end. The only thing that strikes me as odd is that Gale never (knowledgeably) comes to visit Katniss once.

The first 300 pages of Mockingjay are alright. Not great, but they fit the tone of the series. We get a few likeable characters like Boggs and some decent moments. But the ending, yeesh. It was like Collins was given an edict to keep it under 400 pages, and went "well, I just killed Prim and we're 350 pages in. Guess I better wrap this up all quick like."
