Hunger Games

The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games series is a favorite of mine.  They have the perfect amount of romance, action and thrills.  I loved all the different characters and what roles they played.  “The Hunger Games” is the perfect start to the series.  I loved the setting of Panem and the games and I couldn’t put it down.  I thought “The Hunger Games” would end after the first book; there was already so much suspense and thrills.  But somehow Suzanne Collins did it and wrote “Catching Fire” which was great as well.  Then “Mockingjay” came and it was even more adventurous!
Here are some of the things I loved most about this series:
-          People in the Capital had all that crazy hair and tattoos and stuff
-          The different Districts which each had their own industries, structures, climates and ways of life
-          Every story had a bit of tragedy which made them more exciting
-          Katniss did stuff that wasn’t allowed; like going through the fence into the woods to hunt
-          That Katniss knew Gale and Peeta from the very beginning (even though she didn’t remember Peeta the way he remembered her)
-          Katniss started by faking her relationship with Peeta but then it turned real
-          The love triangle between Katniss, Peeta and Gale
I would recommend this series to anyone who likes adventure and romance.
