The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games was an interesting series. I didn't think I would enjoy them as much as I did. All three books had twists in them I wasn't expecting. I think they are deserving of the fan base they have gathered since the first book. Although I have little of contemporary Young Adult literature, the ones I have read are good. I try not to read really fluffy things. Curiosity made me read The Hunger Games, and after that I was hooked. Something about them was quite addicting. Perhaps it was the writing style, or the interesting plot lines and settings. The first book was really good. It drew me into the story right away, and it was a fun, quick read. The second book, Catching Fire, was as good as the first. The new arena was a very intriguing concept. Mockingjay, the third and final book, wasn't as good as the first two, but was still addictive. The ending was satisfactory. I didn't feel like it was an empty ending. Overall, I liked the books, and would recommend them over other YA books today. I am glad that I read them, and am excited over the upcoming movie.
