The Hunger Games

The Hunger games series is AMAZING! Its considered a "young adult" book which could lead you astray. I mean I liked Harry Potter and I did love Twilight although the more popular the movies becomes, the less intrigued I am... 

[Side Note: I just feel that the Twilight movies are so Hollywood-ized.. that it takes away from the story. You know, like Bella is bleeding and Jacob is like "Oh, let me take my shirt off for you to wipe off the blood" type thing. but anyways back to the Hunger Games]

Hunger Games is a story with love, war, death, joy, happiness.. It truly covers every emotion. At the end of the story, I know it sounds odd but I cried because I truly was going to miss the characters. Haha. 

So whats the story about without giving the whole plot away? Well basically it takes place in a post Apocalyptic futuristic America that is now be governed in 12 different districts with the Capitol being the head-state and richest of all the districts. The main character is Katniss Everdeen, a member of district 12. The tyranny of the Capitol holds its annual event called "The Hunger Games".. The games consist of competitors called "tributes" (one boy and one girl from each district) fighting each other to the death while enduring the tough surroundings that the Capitol has built to make the game difficult. On top of that, the Capitol televises the event into all the districts in order to keep the residents rebellions in check. This year is a very special year because it seems the tributes have their own agenda.. 

I'm pretty sure I read all three of these books in a week. I loved them! Like I said earlier, the book really encompasses all emotions. Suzanne Collins really creates a world to escape to the point where you feel like you are in the story and developing relationships with the characters! Its just great. So, they are talking about making movies for the books -- I just hope they are better than the Twilight movies.. 

Here is a clip where Elizabeth Banks tells us that "the fans will not be disappointed by the Hunger Games movie". 

And here are some pictures that were released of Katniss & Peeta.. Check it out! So Excited!

The movie is said to be released on March 23, 2012.. Ok, so is it March yet?!
