That seemed too out of place compared to the novel. The third book isn't as good as the first two books either and tends repeat a similar plot.
Now the budget's being slashed for the last installment. I have to say, I think a series like this being split into two books doesn't always work. I think it hurt the Hunger Games too. But I still enjoyed it because I got to see the characters and setting again.
I love Young Adult Fiction of the dystopian kind. I think it's some of the most original material these days. Now movie critics are predicting its demise.

I'm with you. Have read the books, seen the first 2 movies and this one, as well. I've been getting into the YA dystopian books and movies the last few year.
Another one you might check out is The Knife Of Never Letting Go series. It was supposed to be made into a movie but I don't know if that's ever going to happen. Still, it was a pretty good trilogy to read.
