I didn't like The Hunger Games for a number of reasons. Most importantly, I couldn't relate with the main character. Katniss is strong and courageous, but not enough to outshine her bratty, stubborn and irritable demeanor. Also, it's poorly written and the concept doesn't really make sense to me. Would they really force children to kill each other because of a revolution by adults? Would children killing children really be glorified? And would children actually kill each other for 74 years until finally one stands up and selflessly says, "I'd rather commit suicide"? It just defies logic to me. Even considering that this was a book for young adults, I read it because so many people enjoyed it, including Stephen King. But it's got to be one of the most overrated books in history.
