I wasn't expecting to enjoy The Hunger Games trilogy but I did. So many people recommended them to me and when my sister bought the set I couldn't resist temptation.
I'm not normally into action and adventure but they seem to have opened up a thirst in me to try more books like them.
I really enjoyed all 3 of the novels- haven't seen the movie and not sure I will because I like them just as they are in my head.
If you haven't heard of The Hunger Games books by Suzanne Collins here is a quick synopsis...
The Hunger Games is a televised competition shown across Panem- a set of 12 districts- to remind the population that the Captiol is in charge. A boy and a girl under 18 are selected from each district to enter the games which result in only one winner. The books focus on the character Katniss Evergreen who offers to take Prim's (her sister) place in the games. She is at an advantage being a keen and skilled hunter and so brings many adventurous and keen characteristics but also has a rather compassionate side especially towards Peeta who is also selected from her district to enter the arena.
The trilogy follows the games and politics surrounding The Hunger Games as well as Katniss, Peeta, Gale (Katniss' best friend) and Haymitch (a previous victor).
I think these books will be around for a while yet and are such a great read not only for teens but adults alike.
