First I agree with the evaluation of writing S. Collins is much better than S. Myers. But I have to give them equal time when it comes to plot development. Very different but both very effective. S. Myers was definitely going for the love triangle but started with a strong first book only really establishing the duo, books after that tried to get Jacob to "break that up". S. Collins went another route, she teased us with Gale and pushed Peeta into our "relationship" causing a push/pull effect. Splitting our loyalties in Hunger Games, bring us closer to Peeta with Chasing Fire and quite frankly I have NO CLUE what S. Collins was trying to accomplish in Book 3. What started out as a US against the world, ended up being a political and thoroughly depressing ending. I didn't think MockJay delivered on the promise of the first 2 books. So because of "disappointing" this reader, I rate Twilight higher because it delivered on it's promise.
