I just finished reading the Hunger Games Trilogy and the word that comes to mind is WOW. Here is background about the book:
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
When I read these books I couldn’t put it down and I even re-read the last chapter. Suzanne Collins does an amazing job at making the characters feel like family. You are rooting for them and you are also sad for them which is what makes this book a page turner
There will also be a movie out in March that I’m super excited about but not getting my hopes up because they may ruin it… I have seen some of the character casting and not so impressed. Give them a read and let me know what you think.
