I am not a big fan of Harry Potter as you know, but I have to admit that the series had strong worldbuilding, and great female charcters.
Where Katniss, whom I liked very much at first disintegrated into naive, indecisive and "dim" mess. I must say, her character is one of those I would most definitely not recommend my daughter to read about: a) low intelligence, b) tantrums, c) using two boys at once. I definitely don't see teenage girls as this over-emotional mess.
PS: I am sorry, I know you liked the books! But I am really angry at this series, and I feel I have good reasons to be angry! ** angry **
PS2: And I am not even starting the plagiarism debate again. The first book (the one that was very close to Battle Royale) was definitely much much better than the other two. it could have been a good book on its own.
