Helpful Score: 1
And the Games go on!
Hmnn...there are a lot of reviews out there saying how this book was the worst out of all three, but to be honest I don't completely hate it. Not that I've been in one, but it gives a pretty good overview of war. In fact, to paraphrase Guns N Roses: "Everyone is fighting for the promised land."
More specifics and onto the book, right?
Well...right away one jumps from a Dictatorship to a Totalitarian society. Is there difference? Katniss doesn't think so. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like she does much about it except sleep. Not that anyone can blame her since other characters also have breakdowns, but strangely enough bounce back at intervals.
Other thoughts that readers might not want to think about: Gale would have won the Hunger Games and then some if he was born in District Two and reaped. Yes! He would have been an awesome "Career" no doubt. (Suzanne Collins does an excellent job on the juxtaposition of him and Peeta.)
Impact of the Trilogy: Death, Hunger, Power, Rape, Cruelty and (at the end) a sense of closure.
