The book does just about everything right. Good writing, interesting plot, the perfect mix of violence and excitement, good characters.
It takes place in a creepy, alternate world in which they put a bunch of kids in an arena and watch them kill each other for fun. That sounds pretty brutal - but remember the book is for young adults.
There is some brutality, but Collins doesn't go overboard. Mostly it's just exciting and fascinating. I've already put a hold on the sequels Catching Fire and Mockingjay (out in Aug, 2010).
I'm hoping when the movie comes out, it won't ruin the story.
