Anthony Horowitz writes fast paced, third person stories, but this is very cliched 1/4 the way through you know how it will end and how every sequel will turn out by 3/4s in.It's much like Alex Rider but it was an enjoyable kids books for what it was really. Don't expect too much from it.
Thomas de Quincey just rambles on and on and on and on....He takes two unparagraphed pages to described why he isn't giving much background because it would be long and boring. Why would you rewrite such rambling trash for a second edition, to make it even more long winded?
Racism, pro-slavery and the first female author and first author to get paid for her works.Read it for English class, did not like it one bit.
Not as strong as the first two. This one fell down about 1/4 of the way in. Personally I dislike Katniss's narrative. I find her narrative boring and clinky. There feels like no real personality is there so I cannot get into her mind. I lost interest half way through and listened to the audio instead.
The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)
I enjoyed it for what it was, but Katniss's narrative is grating and I cannot connect with it. It feels flat.
This is part 2 on my quest to finish this series. I wish I read them when I was little because my age group grew up with Harry. I missed out on a lot of the excitement other kids my age liked. I preferred Animorphs and Goosebumps at the time.
I read this a long time ago. It is ok, at times I felt lost and didn't know where the story was heading. I felt it was overly long winded at times. It's an ok book, nothing about it I can remember fondly.
