I am naturally more of a film watcher then a book ready so I confess, I watched the film before I knew anything about Suzanne Collins and the hype all about her books, I am pretty much out of the media loop, I don't go out more, read news papers, watch the headlines or have a t.v so world war three could start and I am pretty sure it would be raining bombs before I knew anything about it!
I really enjoyed the film and thought nothing more of it, until my husband brought home the trilogy, he plan was just to read the second and third, after watching the film there was no need to read the first book again.
However I am a quick reader so once he had finished with them, they became all mine, I wrapped my self in the world of Katniss (leading character) and Panem the North America, totalitarian nation.
I love Suzannes, story telling style of writing, the words flow and your drawn in page after page, I am told these books are aimed at young adults and this may account for the lack of over complicated words, I like this I want to relax and not over think a book.
The First book is totally spelling binding all about being a contestant in the gruesome hunger games, the Second book follows the life's of Peeta and Katkiss after the hunger games victory, however nothing is what it seems and soon President Snow pressure over shadows there life, the Third book is all about the Districts revolt against the capitol, will they succeed to assassinate Snow?
I would recommend these books to any one, however on reading them I think I am starting to get paranoid between the Capitols suppression , the greed of the rich and the exploitation / oppression of the working class and find my self comparing it to current state of affairs living in England!.. Is Suzanne more of a chronicler then a fiction writer?
