The Hunger Games Trilogy

A few days ago, I finished reading Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games Trilogy. I got hold of these amazing books due to the books suggestions of my friends and from the feedbacks I have read at goodreads.com. Well, I hopped in the bandwagon and realized from the first chapters that these books would blow my mind. I mean, I'm still not in the real world right now. I'm still in Panem with Katniss Everdeen and her other tribute, Peeta Mellark. You won't ever regret reading these books for they are one of the most exciting books i have ever read and totally left me in a catatonic state. 

The first Book: The Hunger games

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.

The Second Book: Catching Fire

Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the annual competition described in Hunger Games, but the aftermath leaves these victors with no sense of triumph. Instead, they have become the poster boys for a rebellion that they never planned to lead. That new, unwanted status puts them in the bull's-eye for merciless revenge by The Capitol.

The 3rd book: Mocking Jay

Young Katniss Everdeen has survived the dreaded Hunger Games not once, but twice, but even now she can find no relief. In fact, the dangers seem to be escalating: President Snow has declared an all-out war on Katniss, her family, her friends, and all the oppressed people of District 12. The thrill-packed final installment of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy will keep young hearts pounding

Above, are the book covers and some introductions for the book. I would really want you to read these books. I even actually forced my sister into reading this one and now she can't even put it down. I think she's also far from reality today just like what happened to me before. I was in a state of bliss. You should actually read it too. If you're a Young Adult Fiction lover too. I bet my stuff, you would love it too. :)

Actually, after I finished reading the last Twilight book, I stopped living. I mean that's my problem. When I totally love a book or a movie, I try to live in them. Daydream on being the Protagonist of the plot. And then, i subconsciously told myself that i would never love another YA book again.  Now that I have read the Hunger games trilogy, i can happily say that I was wrong. Hunger games definitely has more action, more flavor, stronger plot and lots of well-developed secondary characters as well as undeniably likeable main characters. And with such a rich world and cast of characters, it's hard to resist being drawn in. You will love and hate this book. I just kept guessing what's going to happen next and then i would be wrong. I laughed and cried with the book. But, don't really think that this is a tear jerking book. I ]'m just a really soft-hearted person and i cry on very shallow stuff. Well, That's me. 

But, before you read these books i'm warning you that this trilogy doesn't give you a "happily ever after" ending. Well, i don't know if Suzanne Collin projected it that way or not. But for me, no ending in any way presented would be enough for the devastations that happened in the book. I mean, I'm in no position to give spoilers here but the ending just made me lie in my bed feeling depressed and wondering to myself what went wrong. When Suzanne Collin's did really try to establish (in my point of view) a pleasant ending. But i was still not satisfied. However, the whole book was fantastically written and very compelling. 

I'm very sure that once you start reading this book, you will never put it down again :))
