A review by jgaton
The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxset by Suzanne Collins
5.0
The first time I read these books it took me 4 days.
The second time I read these books it took me 2.5 days.
I am contemplating reading them a third time.
I am SO GLAD I read these after they were all released, because if I'd had to wait for the next one to be published I might have LOST MY DAMN MIND.
All of this means that I'm completely unable to be objective about The Hunger Games trilogy. I am uncomfortably obsessed with them. I haven't fangirled about something this hard since... ever, really. I love everything about them, even the parts I hate - like when [spoiler] dies. Or when [spoiler] dies. OMG how I cried. And cried, and cried.
And when [spoiler] makes Katniss into the [spoiler] without telling her ahead of time? And then [spoiler]? And they don't give her his [spoiler] until she [spoiler]? CHILLS. Goosebumps over my entire body. I just cannot even.
So, sadly, most of this review is completely unhelpful to anyone who might want a reasoned, thoughtful consideration of The Hunger Games. I simply don't have the ability to provide that right now, if ever.
I recommend that you read them and come to your own conclusion. Best I can do.
