Rampant Rambling 
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
One of the most underdeveloped, unsatisfying endings to a book series I have ever read. And things were going so well until the second half, too. I can’t say I didn’t enjoy the book, but the ending left a lot to be desired. Like, an ending, for instance.

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
I read this one in less time than the first, which had to have been a good thin, but I feel like the first one was better. To me, the sequel regurgitated too many plot elements of the first book. I wanted to read a sequel to The Hunger Games, not The Hunger Games op. 2, you know? Some more development of Peeta Mellark (who I call “Princess Peach.”), which was nice.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Mildly entertaining. Not as cool as Battle Royale, but it has its merits. My one qualm is that the characters are rather thinly imagined. Katniss Everdeen is so thoroughly committed to being the kickass heroine that she sounds almost robotic at times. People as nice as Peeta Mellark do not exist. Also,he gets a little too Edward Cullen for my taste sometimes. Gale is brooding and rebellious, though fiercely loyal to his family, which whoopdefuckingdo is not much of a character. And Prim, who’s the entire reason why Katniss goes into the arena, never becomes anything more than a symbol of purity. I did like the book, though. It might sound like I didn’t, but I actually did. Dystopian fiction always appeals to me. I would recommend it to people who aren’t as anal-retentive about character development as I am.
