It's an "OK" read. Certainly not deserving of the hype that I've seen it get in some places. As I generally find with children's books, character development is minimal, and the whole thing seems rather shallow. I'm gritting my teeth at the first person narrative, which I loath.
Can you tell that I'm not terribly impressed by it?  |
Ha! I loved it but I have a soft spot for dystopia. I did think her lesser known and more YA-ish Gregor the Overlander series was better, though.
Oh, the first one is The Hunger Games. The second one is Catching Fire and the third one is Mockingjay.
