I usually never read but someone told me i had to read it. The first hundred pages may be a little dull but after that i was glued to the thing. I just started the second one and it is great too. READ THIS BOOK!!!!! READ IT AND LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm, well, i guess i have a different opinion of the book than many people. my general take on it: as far as scifi plots, it’s been done before, more than once, and better. the characters are generally one-dimensional: the “tough” girl who’s had a hard life, the smoldering best friend, the blond, blue-eyed lovestruck guy, the various other tributes who are nothing more than true stock characters (think cato, foxface, etc.). let’s also not forget the deus-ex-machina(s) of the little parachutes of help *insert eyeroll here* and my personal grammatical/semantic pet peeve on p.156 – “I hear the anthem that proceeds the death recap.” proceeds?? are you kidding me? the word we’re looking for here is, of course, *precedes*, as in, “comes before.” der. a rather glaring error, imo.
all that said, i can see how the book would draw a particular readership in – it’s fast-paced, filled with enough description to make it interesting imagistically, and has just enough action and violence to satisfy those living in a videogame/rpg world.
stephen king wrote a pretty interesting review of the book, for those who haven’t seen it already: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20223443,00.html
