Amazing Trilogy!!!

North America does not exist any more. In its place is the nation of Panem, which consists of the materialistic Capitol and the 12 districts that supply its wealth. To stave off rebellion, every year the Capitol demands an offering of a boy and a girl from each district to compete in a televised fight to the death known as the Hunger Games. The trilogy follows Katniss, a young tribute from District 12, as she competes, strategizes and fights for survival and explores what her actions in the arena mean for the people of the greater Panem. Action and excitement abound in the incredibly detailed and vivid world Collins has created, but there is always a sense of foreboding lurking in your subconscious as you read. Collins keeps the story interesting by continually adding surprise elements and ending the chapters with cliff hangers keeps it fast-paced. If that wasn't enough, there is just a hint of a love story to satisfy the romantics. Collins doesn’t shy away from death and violence so an older teen audience is recommended. I’d suggest buying the box set, as the series is unbelievably addicting!

FREAKING AMAZING!!! I absolutely loved it! Collins is a born story teller with a vivid imagination. The plot was great with superb characters.

* review of the entire series *
** contains spoilers **

I just finished re-reading the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. In the book America has kind of been distorted, there is now a capital where all the rich people live there life and then there are 12 district, and this districts produce different things. The story is about Katniss who lives in district 12 which is the minor district (poor side of America); she has to take care of her mother and her little sister. the hunger games is a yearly event where one boy and one girl from each district gets chosen out of random to compete in the Hunger games, where they are placed in an area where only one can survive, the hunger game is done in a reality TV . The book starts on the day of the reaping, which is the day the children gets selected and unfortunately Katniss younger sister prim rose selected, Katniss decided to voluntary to protect her sister, and that everything gets started, one of the reasons why I like this book is because its super fast phase, I feel like the writing is very compact meaning that you can read in a day or two. There are some many aspect of this book that I really enjoy; there is one part that I can truly remember. The part where peter (the boy that was picked in district 12) and Katniss are on this train to the capital, where they have is fabulous meal and Katniss is so used to starving all the time, so getting the chance to a great mean was very special. The book is great and I recommend that you guys read the book before watching the movie.
