Book : Hunger Games Trilogy

I am so excited to hear that the Hunger Games Trilogy will soon be in big screen. After I read the first book, I already hoped that someone can make this book into a film. And after reading the last book, I am definitely  hoping for more. I highly recommend them. It is though categorized as science fiction novel for young adults, but adults too can appreciate it, juts like me. Suzanne Collins wrote the books very well using a language that everyone can understand and visualize every details she wants us to imagine in the story, even we can still imagine it more wonderfully. You should really need to read the book in exact order for you to understand the whole story. For me, the best book is the first one where the creative story really stands out. And in every chapter really brings you to a new future world that I really never imagine can exist, that somehow possible to have a world like Panem (the place in the book). The least is the last book where I could find it predictable already unlike the first two books. And it just that, the ending of the last book seems like the author Suzanne don't know how to end the story anymore or it seems like in the last chapter, she's already in a rush to end it. I just hoped, she should have ended it in a more grand way just like the first two books. But overall, you won't be sorry, I can guarantee you. I just can't wait to see how they will make the costumes, the arena and the fight in movies. Well, I suggest, read the books first before you watch the movie. Books are always more detailed and more exciting because your using your own imagination. Grab a copy now. Enjoy! 8)

Just to give you an overview, I copied the this one from Scholastic site http://www.scholastic.com/thehungergames/about-the-book.htm


The Hunger Games
Twenty-four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.
Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

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. Suzanne Collins continues the amazing story of Katniss Everdeen in Catching Fire, the second novel of the phenomenal Hunger Games trilogy.

Mockingjay
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she's made it out of the bloody arena alive, she's still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what's worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss's family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins's groundbreaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year.
