Review Detail

All three books in the Hunger Games are extraordinary and entirely worth reading, the characters are real and deep and well developed; but be warned the love story between Katniss and Peeta, as well as the love triangle including Gale is not what this book is about, and maybe that's the point. Like the rest of the selfish, corrupted and twisted people in the capital I'm so sucked into their love story in the Hunger Games that I overlook the senseless death that surrounds them, and I think that says something. But their relationship is something that I wish the author had given us more of. Instead the sweet moments where Katniss gets a brief moment to share with Peeta or Gale are somewhat rushed past or skipped over.
