Fantastic.
I love all the characters.
I love the themes.
I love the imagery.

I was originally skeptical of Collins' writing because it was disjointed and choppy. As I got to know Katniss, though, I felt Collins was writing in tune with Katniss and how she thought, which is the sign of a good writer. Having started book two, though, maybe beginnings are Collins' weakness? She makes up for it with her cliffhangers––not too dramatic and overdone, but where you say, "Gosh, I was going to stop at this chapter but––" and then you realize you're several pages into the next chapter. :)

Romance triangles don't seem forced. And of course, I adore the dystopian society Collins has created.

I LOVE how Collins ends her chapters––like I said, this is what kept me up late reading. If she's able to do that, then she's doing something right. :) I'm interested to read her other works as well.

Interesting pairings so far: Battle Royale; Lord of the Flies; Heart of Darkness; The Invisible Man?
