I love to read young adult books and of all the books I’ve read hunger games is my favorite. There are three books in the hunger game series Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mocking Jay I have read them all and I can firmly state that Suzanne Collins is one of the best authors writing young adult literature. The premise of the hunger games is that there are no longer cities or states. Everything is divided into districts. With food being in short supply each district must have it’s kids enter into a lottery to battle in the hunger games for food. One of the strongest elements of the books are it’s characters especially the main character Katniss. She is a very strong teenager and she goes through love, strong friendships, tough decisions, undying love for her family, life or death situations.
Suzanne Collins is also great about involving all her characters in the story. You know if someone interesting is introduces they will come back as an important character at a later point. In the books there are many characters, but in the story Suzanne always makes a point of talking about them more then once. If for a while she doesn’t talk about a character she always brings them back into the story.
