I read this series around the time that the Free Britney movement was really picking up, and I think it really reflects the way young women were treated by the media in the early 2000s. As I followed Katniss’s story and Britney’s, I saw so many parallels. You could even draw parallels between Katniss and Jennifer Lawrence, the way the media built each of the up and then tore them down. It may not be the best writing, but it’s a compelling artifact of its time.
