My friend has this trilogy and has let a number of friends read it. When one friend was returning it to her, I became the happy recipient of the trilogy to read.
First, I think I need to read more “teen” books because I read them much faster than other books. Ha! I think it also has a lot to do with the fact that I have been walking and reading on the treadmill almost every day and reading before bed.
The story takes place in the future. There are 12 “cities” and once a year, girls and boys between the ages of 12-18 get their names in a drawing to be part of “The Hunger Games.” This is a televised event where these kids fight to the death. There’s a love triangle, blood, futuristic creatures…what’s not to like?
It was a good book. There was some action, some fun twists and it was overall, pretty creative. I can see why teens like it…the mushy love crap going on. Oh blah blah…”I don’t realize I love this one guy, I might love this other guy, but then there’s the first guy again…Oh what is a girl to do?” Thankfully the blood and sci-fi nature evened out the mush.
Can you tell I am not much for sappy things? 
With that said…I am a sucker for trilogies and as soon as I finished this book, I started reading the next one! Let’s see what hijinks these crazy kids get into next!
Happy reading.
Fun! That series is sitting on my nightstand is up on the “reading next” docket. Glad to hear you liked it. The premise is so gruesome that I have to confess I’m a bit worried. ;o)
It’s very interesting. I have been told that by the 3rd book it gets a little redundant. But yes. It was a bit gruesome. I didn’t want to give too much away about the book. You’ll have to let me know what you thought of it when you finish reading it.
