Whatever you feel about the Hunger Games, it’s one of the few YA dystopians that actually have a point to make. And Collins toned it down just enough to be appropriate for her intended audience without watering down the themes and implications.

While I agree that the writing isn’t the best, I feel like the cast makes up for it. They’re very human and feel real. And I like that I don’t know exactly how to feel about Evelyn Hugo other than that I won’t forget about her anytime soon.

Well, then they run the risk of something getting into the gossip rags.
