I liked them. Not so sure about Mockingjay, though, aside from that "real or not real" game they were playing with Peeta to help him get past the Capitol's hijacking.

I enjoyed reading them. It was just the last book that kind of made me wonder what the overall point of the series was and whether or not the author meant for the readers to walk away with some kind of message.
I think I over-analyze things.

I thought it was like and American version of 1984. Except only about North America instead of the whole of Europe and Asia.

Well, yeah, it was a distopia, but I'm not sure what it was supposed to be saying--if anything--about the America in which we live now. If that makes sense.

Yeah, that's true. I've no idea what message it was supposed to leave us with.

Whoo! Another win for the girls. Are the boys not even playing any more?
Anyway, personally I don't think a story has to have some kind of message (though distopians often do), but it just felt like she was trying to get something across (I'm not sure why--maybe I just feel that way because it's a distopian novel...?), in which case she failed. Or, anyway, she failed with certain readers. xD

No idea if the guys are even trying anymore. And as to there being a message, it's definitely garbled or very well hidden.

Ah, the boys have returned! Hey, Angelo, I'm going through this game to see what the actual score is between the girls and guys, and I noticed you've been playing for quite a while. I also noticed that, by page 600 something, the boys had 40 wins and the girls had 47. The boys were catching up something fierce!
