The Hunger Games

I wanted to read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins when it was first published in 2008. Then I realized it was about teenagers in some sadistic, futuristic society killing each other. So I passed. Now that the movie has become a phenomenon, I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. It's still about teenagers killing each other.


That off my chest, I did enjoy reading Book 1 of this trilogy. It is an easy read with interesting characters and settings. I was a little unsettled when the ending deteriorated into a yucky love story between teenagers, but it left me wanting to see the movie in order to compare my own visuals with those chosen for the big screen.

Now I'm about halfway through Book 2 and not feeling as much love. Starting to lose interest, but still curious enough to complete the three volumes.
