Great series! Very easy to read and I couldn't put them down! I think these books would appeal to a wide variety of readers, they were recommended to me by someone else and I didn't fall in the type of books that I normally ready... but I loved every minute!

I enjoyed the series a lot, especially the first two books. The third one was less interesting, but the storyline did carry through pretty well. There were a few things that didn't quite add up, and there were points in the books that I disliked, but it is a very good series.

I agree with another reviewer that the writing is quite mediocre. However, it is readable for grade 5 and up. I did like it in the sense that it was a nice and easy fast read. It was a good story, if not a simple story. I did enjoy the movies better than the books which is totally opposite for me. I always like the book better.

It did give me a good lead to my own imagination though. As I was reading, I could picture the world on my own with ease in my head, and watch it in my minds eye.

It wasn't one of my favorite series in that "genre" but I do think it is more for the younger generation.

As much as people will try to deny it, the first book and subsequent film is a definite ripoff of the Japanese film Battle Royale. There are simply too many similarities to be a coincidence.

That's not to say that it's a bad book, or that its sequels are poor, but the very fact that they are not unique makes them immediately suffer. Additionally, the writing quality is simply mediocre, which is something that becomes more and more apparent upon a second and third read-through.

Because the element of romance in these books is such a common trope in other things -- with two boys vying for the heart of one strong, independent heroine -- it's the action scenes and themes of political tyranny and uprising which will have to set this series apart from others. In that respect, I think it does a fair job, with pacing being its strong suit.

This is definitely not the worst young adult series that exists, but it's also far from the best. At the very least, it may encourage young folk to question how their government works and if changes should be made to improve it.

I loved this series, even though i'm in my mid 30s i found it engaging and relevant. The characters are easy to like and have depth, and the story line is mature enough to keep adult interest.

I wasn't absolutely crazy about these books, but I think that they are a really fun read. Having a strong female protagonists was great for this book, but I found the later ones became more love triangle based, which, in my opinion, quickly got old. Also, I was very unimpressed with the last book. My advice? Read the first two, skip the last one.

These are great books. Pretty easy to read and definitely page turners. I read all three within a few weeks and I would read them again! No spoilers but good books for both teens and adults however there is mature content as a FYI.

I was lucky enough to find the trilogy available for $20. I had only seen the first movie before reading the books. Even then, I had not heard much about the book. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I ended up reading the entire series in just a couple months. Very enjoyable and easy to read. My favourite book of the 3 is the 2nd.

This is a fun trilogy for light reading. I enjoyed the story line and the character development over the series and it's easy to polish off on a rainy weekend. I have not seen all the movies yet but the books pull you in and I had a hard time putting them down once I started.

I really did enjoy this series.
It isn't a difficult read and I was finished all 3 in no time.
I would read then again! The books contain so much more detail than the movies.
