I started this book right after I finished the last post, and I finished it maybe twenty minutes ago. Reading books like this reminds me of being an awkward preteen, when I'd spend hours ripping through books because I just couldn't stop.
So, it's not high literature, it's not that well-written, and it's not the new Harry Potter, but The Hunger Games was good. Katniss, the heroine, is fierce and conflicted, loyal and strong. But now I'm getting ahead of myself.
Should I summarize? I almost just want to post a link to the trailer instead... Dystopian future (man, novelists are obsessed with those, aren't they?), violent contest used to oppress the masses, heroine fights.
Nothing in this book is that surprising--you can tell where the characters are going. But, even though I'm ridiculously tired, I couldn't stop reading; it wasn't boring, at all.
That's really all I have to say about it, to be honest. Though i'm pretty fortunate that I don't have to go hunting for my food, because I would be pretty useless at it. Maybe I'll come up with something deeper when I finish the series.
Next up: Catching Fire, because obviously I can't stop now.
