Just a quick post on this series. First of all if you haven't read these you probably shoud, they are amazing. If you know me then you probably know that I love to read. I read constantly and I never only read it once...unless it's really bad. But this series is one I've re-read 8 times already and I only just discovered them in December of 2010.
I finally figured out why I love them so much. To me these books are good for anyone because of the many different messages they convey. The most meaningful theme for me that I've found so far is the theme of identity.
These teenagers are put through trials and hardships and somehow are expected to come out on top and know who they are. In several parts in the book it is stated that they "don't want to lose" themselves.
How often do the youth find this problem today. They go out and are thrown into difficulty and trial and are expected to find themselves, and turn into someone that they can be proud of. In essence, they are supposed to go through these things and not lose themselves.
I think this is so huge for everyone though not just teens. I know that I want to be able to go out into my life and not lose myself by conforming to the expectations of society. That's why I love these books, because they mean something to me, I think that's what makes them a success.
