30 Days of Books- Day 6- A Book that Makes me Sad

I just have to say, that there are several books that have done this to me.  I always cry at the end of Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. But it's more like a happy sad.  So, the book that I chose, is a recent one that makes me sad.

There is so much sadness found in this book. And, I understand the importance of the sorrowful and depressing mood to the story because Collins is trying to make a point about the effects that war and violence have on society.  Katniss is obviously suffering from PTSD throughout the book, while still being forced to be the image behind the rebellion;  Peeta is a former POW, brainwashed and completely different from the person that he was in the previous two books; and Gale is a hardened, warrior that will do anything to overthrow the Capitol. 

These points besides character deaths throughout the book, really makes me sad.  Even in the end, when things are "resolved" you have Peeta and Katniss struggling with all that they went through, their 'innocence' stripped from them, and you find two very broken characters.  While, I believed that this book was a great ending to the trilogy, it still makes me very sad.  :(  Need to read for the closure of the series, but definitely a depressing mood to it.
