Romance overdone?
So, I really liked the story. I thought it was very creative, and a page turner. The cruelty of the whole society was very chilling and effectively drawn. However, I thought the romance thing was a bit overdone. I see the role it played in the story, but the kissing and sappy comments got a little bit much. Anyone else?

No, no, I totally agree with you. But you didn't think it was intentionally played up by the characters -- particularly Katniss -- for the drama of the show back home? She was always aware of the camera and being all sappy.
