I liked the style of it. It felt distinctive, although it was the only piece of dystopian YA I read during the time that was super popular. The substance was my real issue. Felt very 'baby's first revolution.' Didn't explore the material conditions enough to do anything beyond introduce kids to the general rebel mindset. Is the capital full of decadent coastal elitists keeping the real country folk down, or are they the capitalist class exploring the panem proletariat? The moment you answer that question, you cut your audience in half.
