Read this yesterday afternoon, my daughter recommended it to me some time ago. She had reviewed it for her YA book blog and has gone on to read the series. Not sure I will but I did enjoy it.
I just finished this last night. I had a migraine type headache so sat on the sofa all day and read my kindle with one eye. Loved it. Really keen to see what happens in the next one, when I first heard about the books I thought the 3rd book would be the games and the other 2 the build up to it. Like one huge story in 3 parts rather than sequels if you know what I mean.
I enjoyed the first book a lot and it reminded me of Battle Royale in many ways. It took a little while to get going for me but was written in a manner that made it still readable. I read the second book after but found it much of the same and so I wasn't so keen on that one.
Read the trilogy and can say it was one of the best series I've read! I didn't quite understand the hype until I read them, and then I had the set finished in less than a week. :)
I loved this. Finished it yesterday and straight away downloaded the second one. Am gonna try to read one of the other monthly books before starting on it though
I have to admit I am looking forward to the movie. I think it is the kind of story that (if directed well) could translate brilliantly to the big screen.
I have to say I'm a huge fan of Suzanne Collins and I too love her Gregor series, possibly slightly more than the Hunger Games, though they are for younger readers.
I immediately read the second book after I finished the first one, but now I'm a little bit afraid of starting the third one, since I know it's the last one in this series and I really don't feel like saying goodbye to these characters yet...
I'm quite excited about this as am going to get it and save it for my holidays, Reading your reviews wont spoil it for me, its just so nice to save something I want to read for the occasion
