The Hunger Games Series

The Hunger game series by Suzanne Collins are fascinating yet compelling books. I call it “Gladiator meets Lost”. These books keep you guessing and wondering what’s next! Lying in bed awake at night thinking about these books, isn’t too far from the mix! (these books are that great)!
It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem.  Panem is where a controlling government working in a central city called the Capitol holds supremacy.
The story takes place in a future time period after the ruin of North America, in a nation known as Panem. Panem consists of an affluent Capitol and 12 surrounding, shoddier districts.
As a reminder and punishment for a prior rebellion against the Capitol, every year one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are chosen randomly and ordered to partake in the Hunger Games, which is a televised event where the "tributes", must fight to the death in a dodgy outside showground until only one remains.
16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th Games in place of her younger sister, Primrose.  (Prim)
Peeta Mellark, a boy whom Katniss knew- who once saved Katniss's life is also participating from District 12
A Must Read! ( 5 stars)
Hunger games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay -(Reading Order) ENJOY
