Disturbing, that was my first thought when I started reading The Hunger Games. How could anyone come up with the idea of having children fight to the death. By the time I was done reading the first book I was not going to keep reading but everyone was so in love with these books that after some constant nagging I finally picked up the second and third books. I can't believe how good they ended up being, still disturbing, but good.
I can't even begin to understand how someone can have the imagination to come up with such a story and then to make it into three books. They built on each other so well that you have to finish all of them and find out how it ends. I am still in shock at how each character developed and how much I fell in love with each of them. I knew who I wanted to win and by the end I knew who I wanted to spend their life with Katniss. I was not disappointed!
Now that I have finally listened to my son and cousin, I am glad that I read all of the books and was able to visit this other amazing Country that could treat their citizens so cruelly. I am purposely not saying much about the story because I don't want to give anything away. These stories are too good to let anything slip. It would be to easy to say one little thing and then it would give everything away. If anyone wants a really good story to read I would highly recommend these books.
