On my trip to Honduras, I started (and finished) reading "The Hunger Games" (all three books). Wow. Everyone had told me how good, how addicting they were, but I really had no idea. People would tell me the storyline, and I'd be like, "Why do I want to read about kids killing each other?" I wasn't going to get in to it. But I got talked into seeing the first movie back in March, so then I thought I might as well read the books too. Great decision. The first two books are pretty quick reads. They totally capture your attention (especially the second, "Catching Fire"...that's my favorite). I was in my own little world reading these books. A few of my friends on Honduraserve laughed at me for always having my head in a book when there was down time.... Then, they started borrowing the books from me as I finished, and they were captured too. It's kind of sad, really. I found myself countless times relating everything to the books. I started saying phrases from the book. Everything became "The Hunger Games." They were really fun to read. Except the last book, "Mockingjay". I guess, technically, there's closure at the end of this one. However, I found it to be a lot more dark and depressing than the first two. It wasn't quite as fun to read. I almost wished I'd ended after the second book. If you're on of the few who have been ignoring the series, like I was, I would recommend reading them. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this series.
