I burned through the series, but it honestly left me a bit unsatisfied. The hype was there, sure, but all I saw was a violent series of books that really had me trying to figure out the point. Can someone explain the point to these novels? At first I thought it was a critique on authoritarian regimes.. then it seemed to slide into a lambasting of the cost of revenge .. then it kind of turned into a beat down of survivor and other reality TV shows.. and then it turned into Twilight.
I understand this series is marketed at children, and generally things marketed to children have some take away. What's the take-away from this series?
