The Hunger Games5 of 5 stars
Just read this today. Yes -- all of it. That's your review right there.
Catching Fire3 of 5 stars
Not as tight as the first, but still engrossing enough to launch me straight into the next book.
Mockingjay4 of 5 stars
Wow. I was not prepared for how dark these books went. They're not always the best-written things going, but the overall story is engaging, much more complex than I initially expected, and certainly more emotionally challenging that I would have predicted. After a certain point, I had honestly come to expect a Hamlet-level bloodbath, and only a secondary, maybe tertiary character to left to give us the narrative window into the denouement. It's not quite that hopeless at the end, but the bittersweet is heavy on the bitter.
