I agree that the last Hunger Games fell flat. I personally didn't enjoy the last book very much, though I know some who loved it. And like freenarnian, I too felt that the writing was lacking and the love triangle (in general) was just unnecessary and poorly executed, especially in the last book.
Finnick was probably on my favourite characters. Clearly, I get attached to characters with little screen time because I also really liked Mags, while I didn't share the same enthusiasm for Katniss or Peeta. I think that, with Finnick, he kind of fits that popular archetype. He's definitely not as clever as Gen, per say, but part of the attraction is that under his charming pretty-boy attitude, he's quite intelligent and moral. However, I thought he might be a little too perfect personality-wise. *SPOILER ALERT* I felt his death was unnecessary . It didn't particularly advance the plot or anything. It just showed that people died in war...
