    A trilogy with everything high school students (and up) really love, and then some...

    I recently acquired this trilogy for my (almost) 24 y/o daughter who, despite reading only the 1st book some time ago, really liked what she had read from that one book, so I attempted to find all three in one fell swoop. You get a little bit of everything from this dystopian-set series: Action, romance, humor, drama, suspense, it's all there. I personally had never heard of this series until I had watched part of the first movie several months ago. As violent and intimidating as some of the content is, you do get a good, powerful message in these books and films: "In a world where there is little to do (or eat), you need to do what you can to survive, and empower yourself to take down your foes (whether they are real or they're your inner demons), despite the potentially insurmountable odds." Happy reading!

    Missing info

    I understand not all 2nd hand books are ideal. But when a company like Thrift takes pride in selling gently used books you'd think it would be nice to include in the description 'MISSING COVER'. I wouldn't have bought it if I new it was missing. But your photo clearly showed one. To spend THIS much on a cover free book is a JOKE!
