21. Then entire trilogy was brilliant... my memory, not so much! :)

I'm going to have to reread the series. It's been about 6 months or more since I completed it.

I read, a lot. I've probably read close to 100 books since reading Mockingjay -- I average about a book a day. So, the details of the series aren't real clear to me. I just know that it was brilliant and one of the best series I've read in some time... I liked it much better than Potter but of course, that's almost like comparing apples to oranges. I think why the end/epilogue disappointed me a bit is that Katniss is SUCH a strong female character and then to have her, as you said, worn down by Peeta just didn't seem true to her character but I guess one could argue that it's easy to wear down someone so exhausted (both mentally and physically).
