The response I'm responding to is how the author built suspense and was it effective. The author built suspense in Mockingjay by at the end when Peeta and Katniss got married, it doesn't give much information about what happens with them. Also it doesn't give much information about how the districts and the capitol function. It also doesn't say like if district 12 is still the least rich and not enough food. It also says that Gale disappears into another district and you don't hear anything else about him.
It was definitely effective but I didn't enjoy the way she left the book so suspenseful and unfinished without making a different book. It was kind of like they just lived happily ever after like a fairy tale. A week after I have finished my book I was still thinking about the way the book ended and how angry it made me. I wish the author would've had an ending that didn't have suspense. I especially wanted her to do this because I usually don't read books and since I put in a lot of time into these books I want a better ending than the one she made.
I think that the ending is meant to be open ended like that, its to make the book seem as if it didnt end, and technicaly it didnt. It is a stratigie i belive that the author is useing to keep the book in someones mind long after they finish it.
