I must say that it definitely DID NOT disappoint at all.
I was so afraid that things would not tie up that way that I wanted, but it has definitely achieved "Firefly" status from me.
Without a doubt, Suzanne Collins has "Done The Impossible".
I was drawn in from the beginning and feared the worst throughout as the story unfolded. However I am definitely in awe of how the story was handled.
I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone regardless of literary preference.
The only drawback to this series is that it has come to an end. I know that is very cliched, but it is the truth.
Being a 37 year old male that has no feelings, other than for my wife and four legged children, it's hard to process how engrossed I became with this story.
Normally I never get too emotional with anything outside of military stories, the canceling of Firefly, Detroit Lions and Michigan football, hatred of the Evil Empire of Yankee nation, or my aforementioned family.
Do yourselves a favor and give it a go. You won't regret it.
Wow. That is all I have left to say.

Firefly status
Wow! (I'm a Whedon fan, too. I'm looking at my pile of Whedonverse DVD's, including my Firefly boxset as we speak.) I really, really enjoyed the Hunger Games trilogy as well, and I really didn't go into it expecting much. I'm glad to see that you enjoyed it as much as you have.
