Oh my goodness. I was floored by just how layered this book is. Collins has created a sci-fi dystopia built out of the Roman Empire, the US, "1984" and "Brave New World" combined with her own brilliance. This isn't just a YA sci-fi, this is a work that will be considered a classic. She strips away all our comfortable layers of civilization, brings her characters down to the raw need to survive, and lets humans be humans. Love, loyalty, family, what it means to trust, desperation, the will to survive, betrayal, the barbaric and sadistic, so much is in there. I had a hard time starting the book, the first dozen pages or so are a little slow going, but once she gets the plot moving, she doesn't let up. The characters are caught up in a political machine so far removed from them that it's almost omnipotent, where they are pieces to be used by the Capitol's whim to debase and grind down the Districts. And yet, Katniss, in her gamble to survive, finds flaws and chinks and how to work the system that could easily kill her and everyone she loves or knows without effort, thought, or remorse. This book not only lives up to the hype, it exceeds it. Highly recommended!
