What just happened?! 
 I would never in a million years have picked this book with all the hype around it. I steer clear from those books, but I picked it as one of my Take a Chance Challenge Books http://www.lifewithbooks.com/2010/12/... and am I glad! 
 I started this yesterday morning while waiting for at the doctors office; it was something to pass my time with. 24 hours later, I've read it and downloaded the second installment instantly! 
 The writing was so fast paced, I felt like I couldn't keep up, I felt like I had to read this book while running. So much action and things going on. Loved every single page of it. 
 I didn't give it a 5, no I didn't because at the base of it was "yet another teenage love story". And while Collins has return an "at the edge of your seat" story book, I've read countless of "yet another teenage love story books" and they stopped getting 5's. Yes, you can dress them up with heretic dystopian ideas and murderous children, yet they're still what they are at their core. 
 This was my second attempt at Dystopian and I still feel very uncomfortable with the concepts. I know that they're derived from our own history (Gladiators?) but they still disturb me and anger me. The people of the Capitol! Oh my god! Are they serious! Those books scare me because I know that we, in our current societies, are capable of evolving into such brutal and sick people. People who make sport out of watching Children kill each other. Frightening. 
 I'm looking forward to the fall of the Capitol in the following books! Collins don't disappoint me.
