I just finished reading the Hunger Games and it's sequel Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I enjoyed reading both of these books. It was really weird in the beginning of the first book but once you understand what is going on it is really interesting. It takes place in the future in a place called Panem that arises after North America is destroyed. Panem consists of the powerful Capitol and 12 poor districts. In the first book, the main girl, Katniss, has to try and survive the Capitol's Hunger Games, which is a form of punishment the Capitol has placed on all of the districts. In both of these books there is always something deeper going on that you find out at the end of the book. I recommend reading these books. They are both an easy read, unfortunately the third book doesn't come out for a few more months.

I keep hearing about these books, I'll have to try it
Me too! Everyone's talking about it. I'm ready for a new series!
I meant I'm ready to start reading it and be into a new series, being the Hunger games. Maybe I'm tired. Am I talking in circles?
I read them all and then listened to them again with Mike on road trips. After I read them the first time I remember seeing something on tv about American Idol and I thought about these books and how "reality tv" may not be scripted but it's definitely a performance and everybody has an angle. And although everyone I've talked to hated the ending of the series I loved it! I was glad she kind of went crazy and they had major emotional scars, but that eventually she still got to be happy.
