The Hunger Games Series



Well this is a trilogy and the third book is expected out late this summer. Note...if you hate agony and cliff hanging pain - then wait till the 3rd book comes out to dig in. Unfortunately I was not given this warning and read the first two books in the series "The Hunger Games," and "Catching Fire," over Christmas break and have since been agonizing over the months I must still wait for the final volume.
These books were fun and exciting and different, when I read the summary and listened to my friends talk of them I just thought they were not my style. A fight to the death? Children fighting to the death? Are you serious?? But I have to say that they were fantastic and very captivating and although very different - filled with so much humanity that you could believe this was happening in your own world. I loved them and I am envious of anyone just beginning them - you are in for a treat.

  1. I have yet to read them, but I know they are the #1 read at our school right now. I sent the first home with my nephew for my sister to read, she was desperate for anything, she read it and requested the next. Unbeknownst to her, the son also read it and devoured the second one before she even knew he had it. I really must take them on this summer.

  2. I read them in 2 days. They are so amazing. I cant wait for the 3rd one to come out. I like them more than Twilight. For me to say that? You know they are good. I thought the same thing you did. That they werent my style. But they were amazing.

    I hope you got my birthday wish Andrea. If not.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I was thinking of you all day.

    Love always, forever, no matter what.
