Wow! This book did something to me, I'm not a sentimental person but this story is a part of me now. I read the book because i recognized the author and it was on a reading list. Once i picked it up it was almost physically painful to put it back down. The emotions created by the breathtaking words of Suzanne Collins were the result of her mastery and her truly magnificent voice. The main protagonist Katniss was truly a work of art and my absolute favorite character to date, she even beat out Snape ( Harry Potter). Her anguish, and struggle between staying herself or letting the games alter her forever, and indecision between Peeta and Gale provided a suspense i almost couldnt handle. On that note i would like to bring in the topic of Gale and Peeta who in my opinion destroy Edward and Jacob (No offense intended). Gale is the stoic best friend who would understand her completely and fan the flames of her personality and ideas. Peeta is the paragon of everything she subconsciously desires to be and the balance to her passion and rage. I also think that Haymitch and Cinna are characters that deserve to be in some hall of fame. I love how Haymitch is the bad ass drunk mentor and Cinna is the quiet rebel who creates a legacy through clothes. Prim and Rue are also not to be forgotten, both girls bring the softness that's necessary to counter the hardness of the novel. Alright i'm going way out there now. Bottom Line if you have any taste left in you after reading twilight i recommend reading this book it opens up a whole new genre that beats the cliche love story that seems to be everywhere
