The premise is horrific and the idea that kids are placed in an arena with 23 other kids and forced to murder them in order to survive, is just disgraceful. To make matters worse, the kids go through training to be more violent, interviews to impress the audience because the games are televised, and makeup and costume to give a good impression. Are you kidding me! No wonder Katniss has such an attitude. It all just seems so pointless. And if all that isn't enough to turn your stomach, if you somehow win, you are then expected to train the future "tributes". The nightmare never ends.
All the reviews scream how wonderful this book is. If you can get past the concept of the book, the storyline is fascinating and the growth of the characters is amazing. Katniss and Peeta conquer adversity and survive with their honor and loyalty intact which is truly amazing given the circumstances. Of course, the books ends with Katniss and Peeta fighting but how else is the author going to get you to pickup book number two and read more of this tragedy?
I'm glad I finished this book but it is not a series I would continue reading.
