I'm not really into YA novels. The Characters I read and write about are usually adult, but after reading the description, the story sounded interesting so I bought the book.

Suzanne Collins has a gift for story telling, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone. ...more

If you're one of the 12 people who havn't read this, read this. (If you're an Amazon Prime memeber, you can even borrow it free... how's that for a deal?)

Amazing young adult novel set in a dystopian future society, in the US (though you wouldn't know it) after some sort of catastrophe. Totally awesome even when reading as an adult. The world was just so real, so compelling. I have to say, I've read plenty of vivid stories in the past, but this one gave me more dreams than any other series I've ever read. I dreamed I was there so many times. It is absolutely amazing, and you truly sympathize for the characters' sad, sorry plight. You are outraged ...more
