Helpful Score: 1

My son read this book, and my husband picked it up and read it too, so I had put it aside to read. It only took a weekend to finish because I could not put it down! The book has a wonderfully crafted plot. Because there is a sequel, the reader knows that the end of the book will result somehow in the survival of the protagonist, but the author keeps your complete interest in how she will get you to that point. I would compare the author to Hieronymus Bosch; she creates unique and fantastic creatures (the mockingjay and trackerjacks) and with a few words, she manages to create all types of settings (the Capitol, the Seam, the Arena). Don't underestimate this book because it is young adult fiction.
