Summer Reading

If you haven 't yet, pick up The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This trilogy of books is marked Y.A. but any age group will enjoy these three books.

The series is

1. The Hunger Games
2. Catching Fire
3. Mockingjay

and they have to be read in this order to make sense.

They follow the main character Catniss through the hunger games, and her love for two completely different men/boys. The themes throughout the book are ones of revolution, rebellion, independence, oppression, love, and the will to live. A movie is being made of the first novel as I write this and I can't wait to see how they illustrate 'the capital' and the outfits that Catniss gets to wear on her route to the hunger games.

I guarantee if you read one of these books, you will read the others, but the reading is easy, and the books fly by. Pick up this book before the movie comes out and eveyrone else jumps on the bandwagon.

Happy Reading.
