Peeta is my favorite character, but I was bothered by his lack of concern for his family. Sure, his mother abused him, and his brothers didn't try to volunteer to take his place when he was selected for the Games. But they just seemed to drop out of existence, and that always kept him from feeling like a fully-fleshed out character for me. I was especially surprised that we never saw anymore of his father; I would have liked to see at least him a bit more involved in his son's life in Catching Fire.

At least Peeta seemed kinda pissed about his family being dead in Mockingjay, but that seemed more like he only cared because he didn't love Katniss anymore. I wanted to see him more upset about that. I mean, without his family, and without Katniss, who else did he really have left?

I guess the problem with that is the story is told through Katniss's point of view, so we never got to see any of the time he spent with his family in Catching Fire or what he went through while recovering in Mockingjay... But for crying out loud, we got to know Gale's family more than Peeta's, and Peeta was the more important character. :/
