I initially wanted to read this book for the book club I started (but failed to actually schedule a meeting..sorry girls :S ), but my taste in books is always changing and it got shuffled to the bottom of my "to read" pile. I picked it back up again two weeks ago because I saw that for my Teaching Adolescent Literature class we were going to be reading it. Well let me tell ya folks, once you pick this book up and really get into it, you will NOT be able to put it down! Quite honestly I was hooked from the first chapter and that is really important to me in the novels that I read.
Collins does an exceptional job of developing her characters and really developing the plot. I cannot harp on this book enough! I read the entire series in less than two weeks! If you are looking for a good read, with characters that you will love, characters that you will hate, characters that you empathize with and sympathize for, and a plot that is always taking a turn or thickening than this is definitely a book you want to pick up (and it only runs about 6.00 at your local Wal-Mart!)
