The Hunger Games

I totally skipped the hype around The Hunger Games at that time. I heard about it and signed it off as a bad copy of Battle Royale with a Twilight style love story. Oh how wrong I was.

I recently saw the trailer for the second movie in the theater, and I thought hey this doesn't look so bad. It looked pretty new and fresh, in the middle of all those standard action trailers. So I gave the first book a shot.

And here I am. Finished it in a couple of days, and what a thrilling ride that was. It's full of remarkable and interesting characters. It has a perfect pacing and tense. There's even no snobby love story. What love there is, is perfect blended into the world and totally understandable.

This would even work as a stand alone book. If there wasn't more books I would be totally happy with the ending. But there are two more and I already got them ready. Lets find out what happens next.
