I decided to read this after reading a free excerpt I downloaded to my Kindle. It's an interesting book, looking The Hunger Games series in terms of history, sociology, psychology, and science. There's also a snarky list of apocalyptic predictions throughout history (none of which came true). There's even a rather random Superman reference.
This isn't the sort of book I'd buy for the high school library, despite it being about a popular YA series. The reason is that the author writes about things going on "as I write this," which means that in a few years, it would be incomprehensible to most teens unless they have an interest in history.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
