I read the whole thing in a day, but that was mostly because I wanted it to be over. This book did not keep me absorbed like others I have read recently, so I just wanted to finish reading it so that I could pick up something better. I liked the secondary characters, but I don't think I liked the narrator. I will probably read the rest of the series, because I thought the other characters (Peeta and Gale mostly) were interesting, but I don't think I particularly liked Katniss. Maybe I'll like her more as the series goes on. One can hope.
