So, I have not read this book or the sequel. It's not really my sort of book. That said, from reading others raving about it on my friends list, I know this reviewer was reading a different book:

"Last year, Suzanne Collins published The Hunger Games, the first in a projected young-adult trilogy about Katniss Everdeen, a heroic adolescent girl who crushed on a sexy hunter. In between romantic daydreams, Katniss shot strange beasts, dodged force fields, and battled murderous zombie werewolves — usually while wearing fabulous glitzy outfits"

Or maybe you just forgot to mention the fabulously glitzy outfits?

(there was a very good rebuttal of the review in the letters column the next week: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20303517,00.html)
