2.5 / 5
This book series is a rarity in that, the movies are better than the books themselves.
The beginning of the book bores the readers with the love-triangle of Peeta-Katniss-Gael. The victor's tour and the drama that Katniss had to put were not enjoyable in the least! This continues until about half the book is complete. You could skip some paragraphs without losing context.
Just when I feared the unfolding of a new version of "Twilight Saga", things started happening. The next Hunger Games were introduced. And that was the only interesting part of the book. The Hunger Games arena was creative and interesting to read.
However, I have to say, What AN ABRUPT Ending! It was like a Detective show with the episode ending as "to be continued ... ". Again, nothing new, repetition of the Hunger Games concept. My friend rightly said that the concept, although creative, was self terminating. Meaning - it cannot bring new surprises, only different designs in the arena. !
If you decide to read this, I recommend watching the movie as well. Because it goes well only with the movie.
I give 2.5 stars out of 5.
