I loved this book! I don't have very many teen heroes/heroines, but I do read a lot of YA/teen novels. I'm a big Harry Potter fan and have always been fond of Hermione Granger and finally I have been introduced to Katniss Everdeen! If only Katniss had been around when I was a teen (1990-1994) but I'm glad she's around now. Now...time for Catching Fire!

Loved it! So disturbing but I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the second book.

It has been a long time since I have actually lost sleep to finish a book. I literally could not put this book down. I found my self crying in at least 4 of the first 9 chapters and many more times after that. The characters even those we are only briefly acquainted with have such magnetism and of course katniss is such an incredible character. What a heart breaking and intense read. Now on to book two...
OK, thanks to Wendy for getting me into teen lit. So far, this is such a fun book, even though the premise of the plot is not at all fun. I love the characters so far; waiting to see how our heroine proceeds.... Ended up loving this story. I like that Collins writes about violence and war for teen readers.
SO much better than that Twilight claptrap
