Hunger Games trilogy

By Liku Layuk Allo - February 03, 2011


The Hunger Games Trilogy consists of the Hunger Games, Catching Fire and the Mockingjay written by Suzanne Collins. I just finished the last book two days ago.

The world in the story described as; its dominated by a ruling caste who live in luxury in a city called the Capitol. The rest of us live like servants in 12 districts that are strictly cordoned off from the Capitol. Life in the districts sucks: it's mostly hard labor--mining coal and farming and working in factories--some stuff like that.

Once a year each district is required to give up two of its children, chosen by lottery, and enter them in the Hunger Games. The kids are dropped into a arena full of traps and hazards, with a heap of weapons and supplies. The last child alive wins a lifetime of luxury and celebrity. The action is filmed and broadcast to the entire world.

The main cast is sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. She volunteers for the Games to take the place of her sister, whose name came up in the lottery. Katniss is a skilled deer-hunter with a bow and arrow. She doesn't like to kill. But she doesn't want to die either.


The books are awesome. That's all I can say. It was so dark, hurtful and emotional, but beautiful at the same time. But I thought the ending--in Mockingjay book--is suck. Yeah, I hate it. But overall, this story is really, really epic. And it will be filmed soon.

Oh, please. Nothing like Twilight things. I'd rather kill myself to pieces.
