And the fact that the main characters found the violence/games to be terrible made it feel morally balanced. I think it was good to be a bit disturbed; it shows our moral compasses are working correctly. I think the author could have taken it to a whole higher level but refrained (appropriately). I also like how Katniss and other characters are (realistically)emotionally disturbed and scarred. People should know that this kind of violence leaves long lasting effects.Rebecca Irvinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156262858446400612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276520679409069559.post-71307224067553559992010-09-01T12:20:38.881-07:002010-09-01T12:20:38.881-07:00Just finished the 3rd one.

My husband and daughter both liked the first two but said they were a bit morbid so I have not been very enthused. And now my daughter and friend both just finished the third one and both thought it was disturbing. I am interested in hearing your thoughts on the book after you read it.Joy For Your Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377226137595067767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276520679409069559.post-78815049894367312602010-08-31T19:49:36.696-07:002010-08-31T19:49:36.696-07:00I thought you might like this series!
