Books written for developing young people should be inspirational, firing the imagination and spurring creative thought. Jules Vern's books come to mind as a good example of timeless stories that have fueled the imagination of many a child who later went on to be an explorer, scientist, inventor, writer... There is so much that can be done to seed into the future by equipping our youth with a sense that there is hope for good in this world and they can be the ones to make a difference! Thanks again for speaking up! It needed to be said!

At first, I fell in love with the story; not the fact that teens must kill teens, but the fact that Katniss, to protect her sister, risked her life and volunteered. I also liked the romance with Peeta, and the end of the love triangle with Gale was pretty predictable to me and I felt like she wasn't acting all the time for the Games. <br />Here's what I seriously disliked: Katniss selfishness throughout the series. I felt like Katniss thought too much about herself. She was very stubborn too, which is something I don't like reading in a character, at least, not the MAIN character. I started to lose completely sympathy for Katniss by the third book, especially when she gave up on Peeta after he was hijacked.I found it horrible that she voted for the special edition of Capitol Hunger Games. The worst part, she said it was a revenge for Prim, which is so not a good way to commemorate this precious little girl. And the big depression part got me feeling really uneasy and upset. <br />To be honest, I really disliked the third book. The war, the deaths (Prim, Finnick), the depression...The poor happy ending didn't make it up for all the sadness I felt.<br /><br /><br />I just made my own review xD<br />Anyway, good review, I agree with you, on most parts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
