This week's question is...
If you could change the ending to any series, which book would you choose? Why and to what?
I know a ton of people are going to choose this, but I would have to go with Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. There are a lot of things I dislike about the ending, but one part that I would focus on is how the love triangle ended. I saw it coming from the start, but there's no way Katniss should have ended up with Peeta. At the very least, Gale should have been given a better ending, something more satisfying than him just simply moving away.

I wanted to comment-back even if I did end up having to skip your entire post, as I'm still behind in The Hunger Games series. Thanks for following!
I know a lot of people thought about Gale, and I understand, but at the same time I thought Peeta made sense because of all that they had been through together - if that makes sense. Thanks for coming by my blog!
Hi Izzy! Thanx for stopping by! New Follower here! : )
Fun answer. I was such a huge fan of Peeta that I forget not everyone wanted him to end up with Katniss. Gale really did have a sad ending. I can see how a lot of people were disappointed.
Hi, new follower here for the hop! I agree, with your answer (I selected Mockingjay also), but sorry, I've always been in Team Peeta.

Hey, new follower hopping through! And I'm totally team Peeta so I'm biased here, but I loved the ending! I'm sad so many people disliked it :(

I'm just about to start that series, but I'm a tad worried since everyone seems to hate the ending!
I'm a new follower. :)
Happy Friday!

Scarlet Letters
Old Follower, but I agree, at the very least I would have liked to know what happens with Gale at the end and twenty years later... where is he?
I haven't read The Hunger Game and I really need to. But, I have seen Mockingjay on a lot of post today.
Thanks for stopping by :)
I liked the series overall. The ending just wasn't the best. New follower!

I liked the Hunger Games series, but I wanted Katniss to end up with Peeta. I have to agree though, I wanted Gale to have a better ending. I think that it doesn't make much sense that such a good friend would just leave. Feel free to check out my FF here. New follower!
Rumana @ Relook the Book
I've still to read HG, since I've heard so many good things about the early books. So I'm happy there's at least some form of 'happy' ending. :)
Great blog, I'm a new follower.
OMG I totally completely 100% agree with you!! I don't think Gale was explored enough as a character in the Hunger Games. He was more of an afterthought.
Awesome post, new follower:D
My Post
Old follower hopping through... I too picked THG. Loved the series and still highly recommend, but I did feel a *little* let down at the end.
Thanks for coming by my blog! I almost chose Mockingjay as the book whose ending I would have changed! I just didn't like how it ended with Gale.
I so agree. Glad I'm not the only one. I've since resigned myself to Mockingjay, but there were always be things I wish were different. Gale's ending being one of them, of course! Sure she may not have ended up with him, but he was important! He needs more than a cursory paragraph.
I picked Mockingjay too. I seems like that one, Breaking Dawn, Forever, and Delirium were the books picked the most, and I can see why :)

Great answer! I completely agree with you.

Totally agree! For once I hope the movie version changes things up a bit when it comes out and ties up Gales story as well as makes Peeta and Katniss' relationship more believable
