Early in 2011 I became hooked on The Hunger Games book trilogy. I’d heard of them sometime before but had written them off as yet another series of teen romance novels in the vein of the Twilight series. But the positive chatter about the books was intense and when a feature film version of The Hunger Games was announced I decided that I needed to at least check the books out and quickly fell in love with them.
In The Hunger Games, it’s the future and the planet has just recovered from some great cataclysm in the past.
