After finishing The Hunger Games I'm still slightly surprised with the ending. In the story, when I first learned that Peeta was in love with Katniss I wondered how Suzanne Collins was going to pull that off if there could only be one winner. I knew Katniss would have to win, seeing as she was the main character and narrator. But as for Peeta, I had no idea what would happen. At first I thought maybe he would hide and then come out after Katniss had won. But that was before I knew how the games worked.
I also had mixed feelings about Katniss pretending to be in love with Peeta. I couldn't really tell if she actually liked him or not, but I wasn't surprised in the end when she said it was all for the games. I have to take it into perspective though. Katniss was in a life or death situation. Her two options were fighting alone, or to pretend to love Peeta and save them both. Personally, this seems like a pretty easy decision but I feel like if I was in her position I would have told Peeta what I was doing in a whisper so the capital couldn't hear anything.
Overall I actually really enjoyed this book. It had a fast paced plot, and I didn't feel like there was a time when I was waiting for the chapter or scene to end.
