Oh, and am I the only person who LOATHES the Hunger Games? It was so overrated and really full of itself. Dystopian literature should not be a satire of current life. That just makes the author sound stuck-up. It should be different, whence the coolness comes. The problem is that people want to feel sophisticated talking about societal problems and how this could “really happen” (gimme a break), so they read this kind of dystopian novel. I did like the plotline where it turned out she was played by the opposition party and they were the ones who had the problems- it got the series away from its whole beatific outlook.
