The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a superb book! I absolutely loved it. The thing that makes it so good is because it is plausable. Though it's not set in the world as we know it, you could see something like this happening. The characters are riveting and spell-binding. So much passion and drive you feel for them, for their suffering, anxiety... everything. It makes you wonder how people could ever treat another human that way, and yet, it wouldn't surprise you if it did happen. You realize the depths of darkness that a person is capable of. But, These are all reasons why the story is so captivating.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Again, Suzanne Collins has done a fabulous job. She continues the story she introduced in The Hunger Games, only to see after all the suffering and trials the characters have been through, they will just see more. Picking up the story from their escape from harm to only realize it is so much worse than it was before. Introducing even darker characters and plots and bringing a culmination where they must decide what to do next. Will they fight or flee? Will they live through it? Could it possibly get worse if they fight? or if they flee? Will they ever see peace and quiet... I suggest you go get your keys and drive to the store, and BUY THIS BOOK! (and of course read, IMMEDIATLY!)

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


So this is the conclusion to The Hunger Games trilogy. The story begins in The Hunger Games (book 1)by introducing a family, who have already suffered the loss of a father. Then, to make matters worse the youngest sister, Primrose is selected to compete in the Hunger Games. But Katniss, the elder sister (and main provider), volunteers to go in her place and possibly lose her life as well. Alongside her a boy named Peeta is selected to enter. Apparently he has been in love with her for a while, and he declares his love to the nation just before the Games begin (Katniss believes it is just a ploy to help them survive the games). Throughout the games you realize he meant it, and though the Games can only have one survivor (he tries to ensure it is her). They work the system to both survive. Which angers the Capitol- the ruling government, to the point that they are now trying to find a way to have them killed. Enter the Quarter Quells, (in book 2- Catching Fire). Katniss is again entered into the Games, along with other Victors of previous Games. She swears to protect Peeta because she believes he is the better person of the two. The other Victors and the Rebels have another plan, they want her to be their spokesperson for the war to come, so they break her from the Games. Mockingjay (book 3), now she has to decide what she will do, be the voice and face of the rebels against the Capitol? and possibly be used by yet another government for control? Meanwhile, Peeta was captured and is being tortued and used against her. Will she help the Rebels, will Peeta survive? Will the Capitol be brought down? Can they ever have peace, and hope for a good future? This book will make you sad, angry, happy and so much more. You hope for their cause, yet wonder if it's all worth it. The sacrifices and pain they suffer, could it be ended? Will the new government actually be any better? Will Katniss and Peeta ever have their own happily ever afters?
