This was an easy good read. There are several holes in the story though that for me continued to suspend the immersion into the story.
I will read the entire series but I was not as impressed with this story as I had high hopes that this would finally be a great dystopian story.
I'm still searching for a great one... not sure if it is out there or not.

Suzanne Colins is superior in her characterization and plotline. Westerfeld as a hit with young adults, it's a best-seller, is a win. The 'dystopian' concept of a rebuilt civilization nicely fits into the modern teenage world, 'uglies' 'pretties', all now generations that everyone has experienced in high school. Will read the rest of the series.
