Yes this book was a 'page-turner' but I think that was mainly because it was such an easy read! It was an ok book with a disturbing and interesting concept, but it was far from exciting. I never got that eagerness to get to the end to find out what happened, because I was pretty sure how it was going to end fairly early on.

One thing I'm not too comfortable with is a common theme for the heroines in these modern 'young adult' books. Why do they have to be so emotionally void and tom-boys, why can't a strong woman still be feminine?

To sum up my opinion on the book, you find that most book series will have you desperate for the next instalment, you just have to know what happens! I have the other two books in The Hunger Game trilogy stirring at me from my bookcase, but I think I'll find another book to read instead. Says it all really doesn't it!
