The Hunger Game Series

The Hunger Game Series
Written by Suzanne Collins

I have nothing negative to say about these books. I did not know a lot about them when I started reading them, so I did not know what to expect. These books were excellent. They grabbed you as soon as you turned the first page. The series as a whole were great. There were missing pieces; it felt like one giant book. It had me crying, and really enjoying what I was reading. I could not put these books down, I wanted to know what was going to happen. I would have to say my favorite was the first book. The amount to detail when describing all of Katniss' dresses and her bow and arrow skills were fantastic. You could see it so clearly in your head as if you were in the audience.

I love how the book was written. It was written in first person, but some of it felt like third as if you were in the audience of the hunger games and could read Katniss' mind. The tone of the book was very serious. It game the reader a lot of time to think about the actions Katniss was choosing to do. The book was set in the future. Where is there no america, only the city of Panem. The Capitol controls the 12 districts, each district specializes in a unique skill in underfed communities while the Capitol lives a carefree lifestyle with out any worries. It is very clear that the Capitol is a tyrant dictatorship that is  controlling the 12 districts as a punishment for their rebellion 75 years ago. When Katniss starts another rebellion, the rebel districts over throw the Capitol. When the president of the rebel districts says that they should create a Hunger Game where the Capitol children are sent in to kill one another. There is an uproar between the remaining soldiers, but Katniss makes the final decisions, when she was chosen to take out the Capitol's President.

I would recommend these books to a lot of people! There is some caution because the way the book is written you can visually depict the fight scenes. Some of them are very violent, but the rush that over whelms you while you are reading them makes you not want to set the book down. I am very glad that I chose to read these books. They have been on my list for a while, so to actually be able to read and experience these book was amazing!
