The Hunger Games

There are lots of positive and negative things to say about this book. After much commotion about this series I finally got around to reading the first book. I adore the main character, Katniss. She is a very strong-willed, skilled, and intelligent young lady who is an excellent role model for girls. The story itself is interesting since it takes place in the future where society seems to have reverted back to its Gladiator days but with children. The Hunger Games itself started off intense, but then the ending of the book left me disappointed since I wanted so much more. If you like romance, you'll like the ending. If you're like me who wanted something more bittersweet, you may be disappointed too.
