‘The Hunger Games’.
Well, what can I say? ‘The Hunger Games’ is my favourite book series of all time. And that’s saying something. It truly is. (Yeah you can quote me)
It’s un-put-a-down-able, like all astonishingly brilliant books should be. But it’s so alarmingly un-put-a-down-able that I read the first one: ‘The Hunger Games’ in three days and then was left gasping for more.
The trilogy has everything you’d want, or certainly I’d want from a book. Action, adventure, suspense, thrill and some romance too.
‘The Hunger Games’ also has amazing characters that grab your attention and make you view the plot differently. There are some you love to love, and others you love to hate. So much that you just want to force it upon a close friend just so you have someone to talk about it with.
It’s horrifying both in content and by the fact that it could be the future we’re heading towards. It’s believable and frightening, but also incredible, which most novels try to, but can’t quite achieve to be.
But my favourite thing about ‘The Hunger Games’ has to be the way the main character views the whole situation. She’s strong minded and I feel a little cliché in saying this, but real. She feels real, and that’s what I love most. You grow attached and want to follow her to the very end, through the shocking horror of ‘The Hunger Games’ the hopelessness of ‘Catching Fire’ and the battle of ‘Mockingjay’.
If you’re longing for a novel that’ll pull you in from beginning to end, it has to be ‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins. Everytime.
