Hunger Games

Just finished Hunger Games.  I am so glad to finally be free of that annoying Catnys.  (If I spelled the name wrong, forgive me.  I "read" the book as an audio, so didn't actually see the name in print.)  But, come on!  The character's vulnerabilities were just too prevalent throughout the story, I thought.  But....the series is interesting from a sci-fi perspective.  Even more, it's a great jumping off vehicle for discussions of the power and purpose of government, etc.  THAT is it's strength and would make it a powerful teen book club title.
