The Hunger Games Series

BEST BOOKS EVER! okay. maybe not the best. i don't think i have a favourite book anymore but the hunger games and catching fire sure do come close. So unbelievably thrilling, suspenseful, clever and brilliant. The characters are also really well developed. They all have awesome personalities and the whole setting of the stories are amazing. Original plot as well. Seriously couldn't put down the books especially catching fire. i would literally read till 12:30pm because it was so captivating! Even though they were both so worthwhile reading, i think the first book, the hunger games was slightly better. It was a little less repetitive and the storyline was easy to understand yet very descriptive. Lets just say the visual image the book placed in your mind was quite detailed and imaginative. The only thing i didn't like was probably the ending. It was left a bit to open for my liking. Nothing was really that concluded so yeah. 9.5/10!!! The beginning of catching fire was kinda a let down. There were a few twists but things were mostly dragged on and repeated and emphasized too much. Though as you kept reading it became more and more intense and the twists became sooooooo... awesome (i dunno how to describe them). They hit like bomb shells, one after another. Part 3 of Book 2 was probably my favourite out of all of the parts. More characters were introduced and they were a great addition with their awesome names that reflected back on them nicely. I suppose it was genius! Sooo creative! There has also been a small debate on who is the best out of the guy characters. Peeta, Gale or Finnick. I think Finnick would be the first to go, considering he is 24 and just not mentioned enough yet. In my opinion, Peeta is my favourite by tiniest amount because of his personality but Gale is awesome just by the sound of his name. Anyways, the third book Mockingjay will be out in approx 2 months time and I will be sure to get a copy first thing. The hunger games is also going to be a movie but nothing serious has been decided about it yet. I have a feeling this whole series will get big in a year or two's time but in the meantime, get out there and borrow it because i will guarrentee it will be worth it!
