You see, I would have loved it if Katniss chose neither Peeta or Gale at the end. Because the way I see it -she didn't LOVE neither of the two and THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY FEMINIST ENDING. A girl doesn't need a man in her life "for survival purposes only"! I am a strong believer that you must marry for love only (another of my big problems with Hunger Games)
I thought at some point in the first book that she loved Peeta, but the way Katniss acted after he was brainwashed? NO, she didn't love Peeta. Marriage is not just for good times, it is also for bad times - what is going to happen when Peeta will get old or ill? I just can't see Katniss to be able to care for him.
This all said, the epilogue was quite good. If only the author hadn't written Mockingjay but went straight from "Hunger Gzmes" to the epilogue? I would have like this much better. :D
