Well since everyone was talking about these books, and the movie is due out in March I figured I would try and read the series.  One of the nice things is that I got it for free from the Kindle Lending Library with my Prime account so it didn’t cost me anything to read it either!  But I would have gladly paid for these books as they were all three very entertaining.  They are also a very fast read I think on average I think it took me about 2 day to read each one.

The main story here is that Katniss, a 15 year old girl, from District 12, the poorest District in the what was formally known as North America is picked to go to the Hunger Games.  These games were created by the government to show the Districts that they still need government control so each year they draw a boy and a girl from the Districts ages 12-18 to go to the Games.  The object of the game is to survive and kill everyone else.  Obviously no one really wants to be picked for the games but no one has a choice.

I really did enjoy the character development of the story, the only complaint I had is every once and while everything would change in a sentence.  Like all of a sudden she is in one place and then BAM she wakes up in a hospital.  This means it takes a few pages for you to catch up to where the story has moved to.  Other than that I have no complaints about the book and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a very fast pace and easy to read series.
