.:The Hunger Games Trilogy:.

The Hungers Games, and The Hunger Games - Catching Fire both were unforgettable. It's the most imaginative story, since the creation of Harry Potter. I would put them in league with Twilight, Harry Potter, Vampire Academy and more. This is not only me either that has been caught up in these novels. Stephen King has said "constant suspense... I couldn't stop reading", as well as Stephenie Meyer quoting "The Hunger Games is amazing", many other great reviews have been made about the two books in this, almost completed trilogy.

For Stephen King to say this book has great suspense, is huge, as he is the ultimate, thriller writer of all time. I was talking about the book 'Gone' having a totally unique story line, well 'Gone' has nothing on The Hunger games trilogy! I thought the end of the first book was breath taking, well wait until you've read the second book, Catching Fire.

The author is Suzanne Collins, and as far as i can tell, these are her first books. I'm not quite sure, what drew me to this book in the first place. I read the first book, before it was really popular, so to speak. When i brought the book, there were no posters or recommendations for it. However, the book has an interesting title, which must of drawn me in. What i found though is, the blurb doesn't really do the book any justist, i almost didn't buy it, when i read it's blurb. Although, the book seemed different, so i gave it ago, and now i'm a massive fan. It just goes to show you, don't judge a book by its blurb. The blurbs of books, I've learnt over the years, don't always accurately portray a novel. Maybe you could read the blurbs of these books, then read the novels and tell me whether you agree or not. This could all just be me, being silly, i just don't know.

Overall, The Hunger Games trilogy is as close to a perfect adventure novel as I've ever read.

As the Financial Times put it "This is a fine entry into the canon of post-apocalypic brutality fiction", i think they put it quite well. :)
