WOW WOW WOW!! I'M HUNGRY FOR MORE by loves2read |
| The Hunger Games is an awesome book that leaves the reader hungry (!) for more throughout the whole book. Full of unexpected twists and turns that surprise you (even if you expect it) while following the life of Katniss Evans and her team mate from District 12, Peeta. Suzanne Collins merges suspense, action, romance and the desiring need to survive all into one with such skill that I couldn't put it down and found myself walking into more than 1 pole at school!!
Suzanne Collins ended the book in the right place, leaving me wanting to read the second one so badly!!!!
If your a young adult looking for a book that will make you miss an assignment deadline, have you raving about it for days on end and has action filled pages then DEFINITELY read the Hunger Games. |

Juicy Love Triangle by rneumeier |
| We love this book it's awesome |

Just when I thought my life had ended ... along with the Harry Potter series by raerandall |
| Review:
Quote:
"Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill one another while we watch. This is the Capitol's way of reminding us how totally we are at their mercy."
Review:
Suzanne Collins' writing is not as sophisticated as JK Rowling's, less emo and egocentric like Stephanie Meyers - she is minimalistic with her language, but ruthless with her plotlines. Her gift is certainly in characterisation. The burgeoning (*SPOILER ALER*) love triangle between Gale, Katniss and Peeta is delicately weaved into the plotline, amidst themes of loyalty, acceptance, abandonment and survival - I wish i could say the same of other literary love triangles. There are wonderful side issues Collins explores which are commonplace for teens and adults alike: family relationships, survival, masquerade, suppression.
At last, a post-apocalyptic-world series that didn't make me feel suicidal, but hopeful. Fans of this kind of genre, or Malorie Blackman will enjoy this series.
Will report back soon about my experiences with Chasing Fire.

Amazing by marymc91 |
| This book is such a page-turner. When I read it, I never wanted to put it down because there were so many plot twists, so much suspense. Suzanne Collins is a superb story-teller. I don't know of anyone who doesn't like this series. |

Hungry For More by Twiclipse |
| The Hunger Games series is one of the best series ever written. It is definitely within the ranks of Harry Potter, and (in my opinion) leaves Twilight in the dust. This series brings forth such important moral issues and lessons, compiled within edge-of-your-seat action, killing suspense, and heart-melting romance. A book suitable for ALL readers looking for a new favorite novel. |
