It was thought-provoking, stimulating, and held my rapt attention from start to finish. The gritty, realistic feel that Collins gave it was phenomenal; though, like you pointed out, things can get pretty violent and disturbing at times. I have to disagree with you about the whole chastity issue though. I very much appreciated that Collins did not violate the sexual purity of her main protagonists. I should have enjoyed the books a lot less had she done so. And really, purity like that should be the norm. We as a culture have been so bombarded by sexual promiscuity and perversion that we've now been brainwashed into thinking that it's all just a normal part of life and there's nothing wrong with it. I reviewed this trilogy, too, a little while back.
