by Suzanne CollinsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was intense, and I loved it. Katniss is a strong female main character who provides for and protects her family by doing what she has to do. Which just so happens to be the type of character I'm most drawn to. She reminds me a lot of Sarah Prine in These is My Words by Nancy Turner.
The subject matter is a little violent, but I didn't feel like it was graphic violence. The main characters are fighting for a good cause against a tyranic government, who publically mocks and digrades them for the purpuse of remaining powerful. Lots of times during the book I found myself wondering what I would do if I were put in Katniss's place, and being grateful that I (hopefully) never will be. I thought it brought up a lot of interesting psychological questions about how different people react when they are given power over others.
It's a page turner for sure, and you never quite know what direction the story is going to take next.
