Lol, I don't really HATE the series, 6/10 is a pretty decent rating. :D
I think for me the problem was that I have seen quite few "OMPH! Katniss! The most feminist girl character ever written" posts , so I expected something more. And where I might believe that after reading Twilight , "Hunger Games" might seem like a slight step in feminist direction, this doesn't work for me. I AM NOT IMPRESSED. :D
I don't know if I express myself correctly: I don't dislike Katniss as a character. I feel for her. but I do dislike the things that this character signifies: another dose of tropes about young girls.
Oh, don't start me on Prim's death. This was so unnecessary but the worst thing? It was another character death/torture (the same was with Peeta's brainwashing) that was there for the single purpose to give Katniss reason to suffer . OH POOR SUFFERING KATNISS. Oh wait, there was another purpose! Prim's death was there to get rid of Gale! And how badly executed that was!
