I mean, it was a book wrote for teenagers, it definitely went more for the YA title than “hugely impactful peace of thought provoking literature” but the point was, it at least had some kind of backbone compared to the others that seemed to try to ride off of the Hunger Games.
The first two books were very competent storytelling and pretty decent writing. I agree that nothing about it was brilliant, but it was a compelling page turner which told an interesting story in under 400 pages, in a world where it felt like genius was being measured in page count. I don’t even really think the first one was particularly YA. It had Anthem vibes without all of the weird baggage.
Pfff Hunger Games wasn’t brilliant.

Did you read them?
Yes. I wouldn’t have made my initial comment here otherwise.
Since you are a stranger I was just curious. Lots of people make statements without a foundation (:
As you well know, I am not lots of people.
I assume you’re a handful at most, but most likely 1 or 0
