Renee (reneerocco) I read it about a year ago and loved it. Only thing that irritated me was the love triangle. I know it works for obvious reasons, but honestly, I feel it was done to ride the love triangle wave started by Twilight. The book would have worked just as well without it, because the true conflict between Katniss and Peeta is her being able to love ANYONE, since she's all about survival. But other than that, I think the writing was solid and the story engrossing.

I feel pretty much the same, though I think that this love triangle wasn't so bad because the main focus was always on the plot, first on the survival and then on the rebellion. On the whole, I think these books are well-written, with believable characters and engaging plot.

Loved the book. I thought it was very well done, except for the whole romance thing. I think that was an unnecessary addition.

Vanessa Wester Really enjoyed this book when I read it, but the idea of kids killing each other was hard to stomach. I actually found the film easier to digest! :)

Melinda Brasher | 40 comments It is brutal, but I thought it was really engaging and well written. Couldn't put it down--and that's not something I say about a lot of books.


Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse (mcurry1990) I read this series on recommendation by a friend of mine, and I really liked it. It was fast-paced, and interesting. I thought the book was much better than the movie.
