Personally, I Amore the Mockingjay as well! I thought it was a fantastic end to the trilogy! But yes, I have heard of MANY different reasons why people dislike o hate the Mockingjay, so I'm just going to name a few in no particular order. 1) No action. People found it boring, and I admit, some parts did drag on. But if te compare it to the other two books, it has so much più action to it. The Hunger Games and Catching Fire's real "action" began in the arena, in which that part took less than half of the two books. In The Mockingjay, the action was less noticeable because it was diviso, spalato in different parts. But I must admit, I really did long for The Hunger Games. Katniss and Peeta's as starcrossed lovers, the drama, the blood, the gore, and feeling Katniss's pain. Maybe I'm from the Capitol. 2) No Peeta/Crazy? There was no Peeta in the Mockingjay until maybe half the book? The fan must have longed for Peeta, and when he came back, he was absolutely insane, so Katniss and Peeta couldn't even spend much time together, therefore eliminating Peeta's appearance in the book more. The only times he showed up basically o was mentioned was when he was recitazione as a jerk o detto something witty. I bet the readers longed for Peeta, and I admit, I did too. 3) Finnick's and Prim's death I agree, I was shocked too, but really, what's a war without deaths? Even the most innocent don't always have such a happy ending. But I believe the reason why many fan despised these deaths because they felt as if they were too rushed. Too uncomplicated, too easy to slip away from your mind, etc. I was really sad as well though. 4) The Ending The ending has many parts in which the readers didn't like. Annie's failiure romance, Gale moving to District 2 and the speaking of him after was very little ("pushing him aside"), the epilogue in which Katniss and Peeta have children, and the sadness of the duo. Again, these are only a few reasons why many dislike the Mockingjay, but really, I have no problems with them. The problems are quite small to me, because I really, thoroughly enjoyed the book. I guess the problem that effected me, as a reader, the most was probably Finnick's, Prim's and everyone's death (because really, I faced so many più libri in which a character basically dies in every single chapter -- wink, wink to anyone who has read the Divergent trilogy). But I guess the most I'll agree on is mostly the action and Peeta's absence. I really loved Peeta, and I missed The Hunger Games; but the war was really exciting to read about as well!
