Now that a few months have passed and we've all had time to digest the first of 3 books in the movie form, I thought I'd add a little book review.
When I first heard about these stories, nothing about them interested me. Not one bit. Children fighting to deaths? No thank you. But as I heard more and more people of all ages talking about the movie, the book being taught in schools - What?? The hype eventually went into a frenzy, I thought, as a journalist, I really should put my own reserves on the side and take a look.
Well, let me tell you, the moment I started to read the first book, I was hooked. I could not put it down! I read and read like a woman on a mission and finished every book within' 2 days.
The story captivates you and pulls you into this fantasy land and makes you take sides and start to root for things you never thought you would.
Collins has a very unique writing style that throws you into a dreamlike stance until she's finished with you.
Highly recommend.
Easy and fun reading. Bring it to a local Montreal Park with a mug of coffee for a perfect fall day.
