Books by author: Suzanne Collins

The second installment in the Hunger Games trilogy isn't nearly as tightly written as the first, but it's still a fast-paced, enjoyable read.

Well-written speculative fiction aimed at teens. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

A reasonably satisfying conclusion to the Hunger Games trilogy. By the end, Katniss has finally started making some hard decisions on her own, though I thought the end of the Peeta-Katniss-Gale love triangle was a little forced. The writing is still not quite as tight as in the first book, but it's better than the second.

This series falls squarely into the juvenile science fiction category. It's a good crossover for adult readers who don't read a lot of science fiction, but would not be fully satisfying to those who read a lot of SF.
