review: the hunger games trilogy

i told you all i have been reading all along, they have just been series so i've been waiting to post my reviews until i finish the entire series.

well the series i just finished (on friday actually) was the hunger games. hmmm... where to begin.

i guess i should begin with the truth: i did not like them. actually, when i finished the last book i thought to myself "did i really just dedicate so many hours of my life to these books?" i really thought they were horrible. not horribly written but the content was truly horrible- horrible idea, horrible ending. the word have more frequently used is terrible. but depressing, sad, bizarre... they all work too.

in case you haven't read them let me tell you what they're about in a few sentences. there is an all-powerful government that forces 24 kids to fight to death with only one victor every year to remind the "districts" how powerful they are. the main character wins when she is one of the kids sent to the games and she then in turn starts a rebellion. the rebels win, the central government falls, and she basically turns into a lunatic. end of 3 books in 3 sentences.

here is why i didn't like it:

1. i do not like death. i really do not like murder. and this book is full of both.
2. i hated the ending between her and gale.
3. i hated the ending between her a peta (who wanted to see them end up together? not me.)
4. i hated the ending with her sister.
5. i hated how she ended up being crazy.
6. i hated that she went to the games twice (seriously?)
7. i wasn't crazy with katniss after the first book. she just became so self-interested (in my opinion, and i know... the hunger games would change a person a lot)

basically, i can't think of all the other reasons, but i just didn't enjoy them. i liked the first one okay. the second one i was not happy. the third, i was miserable. so would i recommend you read them if you haven't already- absolutely not. but if you want to, you are welcome to borrow any of mine. unless i can sell them first... any takers?
