Oh no, I totally agree. I feel like it might be that the style just doesn't groove with people, and they mistake that for objectively bad writing. I can understand that; it's a unique style and doesn't work for a lot of people. I happen to love the super-close PoV (it's almost always how I write), though I almost never do first person. I think to carry off first person present for three whole books that are about much bigger things than Katniss is pretty impressive.

It's not omg greatest writing in the woooooorld, but I don't see anything wrong with it, and I kind of think I'm reasonably qualified to identify objectively bad writing. I do wish it hadn't made the whole fandom think that they have to mimic the style, though. Not everybody can do it (which just adds to my theory that Collins is not an awful writer -- watch somebody fail at first person present and then tell me she's bad, gaiz!), and it doesn't work with every character.
