Hunger Games

I just finished reading The Hunger Games trilogy and I totally understand its popularity. It is horrible and horrific and totally absorbing. I was told that I would love it. Wrong. But it sure did test my gag reflexes which might be a good thing. Just because one surprising and repellant atrocity after another is visited upon the intrepid heroine, and keeps the reader turning the pages, doesn’t make it good. The only points in the book’s favor: it’s a very quick read and surprisingly typo free.
