The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins



Summary:

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 is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival.

Catching Fire: Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

Mockingjay: The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

Who do they think should pay for the unrest?

Katniss Everdeen.

The final book in The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins will have hearts racing, pages turning, and everyone talking about one of the biggest and most talked-about books and authors in recent publishing history!!!!

My review: 5 of 5 stars for all!

I love love love this series. It is so unique, intriguing, suspenseful and just plain GOOD! If you haven't got Katniss fever already, please do yourself a favor and read these books. Only one warning, without ruining it all, the ending isn't your typical "happily ever after" ending. It's pretty much reality, which isn't perfect or always wonderful. So just go into it knowing that so you aren't too upset. I still loved it, but kinda wish I had a heads up that that was coming. Enjoy and happy reading!
