They are for me, anyway. This trilogy has been such a thrill ride to read, and I'm a little sad that it's over. Reading the end was just… wow. The epilogue was such a huge surprise. I didn't even know there was an epilogue to begin with. I really don't want to spoil anything, but the end is something I didn't imagine. For me, one part in the ending was always certain, so I was absolutely shocked.

It was a brilliant read, and you should definitely pick it up. A warning is needed though, because it's so riveting that it'll occupy your mind frequently whenever you're not reading it. These books are so amazing, and there isn't a dull page. The Hunger Games is now my favorite series.

The movie is scheduled for release on March 23rd, 2012.
