The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Reviews
#1 in Books

Description

Publisher's Description:
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

    This series starts off strong and just gets worse and by the last book, it is terrible and confusing. The last book just felt lazy and the love triangle in the story felt like it was shoehorned in. I did like that there were strong female characters and that the lead started off capable but by the end she became whiny and useless. It is a fun read but just be warned that the last book kind of ruins the overall storyline.

    I found the first two books were amazing but the third book was such a let down for me and just seemed to be unlike a lot of the other characters.

    This is an awesome book for young adults. I love the movies to them. Fast read. Couldn't wait to read the next book.

    I could not get into these books. The writing was very "tell" rather than "show". The concept was quite great, but the execution meant that I hardly made it through the series and didn't even bother with the movies, the books really let me down. While I appreciate pop culture and reading trending books that may not be well-written (Twilight, etc), this series just did not do it for me.

    I've read all three of these books and while I enjoyed the first two, I just couldn't get into the third. I liked the concept and the idea behind it however by the third book I became bored and uninterested. Far too teen romance for my liking.

    I loved the first book and was really excited to read the next installments. However, i was a bit disappointed with the other books in comparison and the trilogy as a whole. The first one is worth the read the rest just tie up some loose ends. They do engage the reader though for the most part.

    I do not usually enjoy or read sci-fi stuff. HOwever this series captured my attention right away. The characters were great and the story line kept you engaged. Great read, not just for teens.
