Series: The Hunger Games

Staff Review
Brutal, exciting, vivid. The Hunger Games is set in a future where young adults must compete in deathly games to secure food for their community. Author Suzanne Collins does an amazing job of creating very real characters put in unthinkable situations, and making us really feel for them. My workmate has already recommended the second in the trilogy, "Catching Fire" to you, and I do as well. (Third in the trilogy, "Mockingjay" is due out August 24th.)
