The Hunger game trilogy

I just finished reading The Mockingjay last night.  I enjoyed these books, though I don't usually go for the fantasy books. I thought all three were written well.I liked reading the second two more then the first because I knew the lingo and could follow the story easier.  The characters were well developed, though sometimes I found myself not liking Katniss. Then she would do something that would redeem herself.  I don't know ow Collins came up with everything that she did. I was constantly surprised by the new and creative ways she killed off her characters.  I didn't like all the gore though, I don't think she needed to be quite so descriptive with the blood and guts. The story line was was very well thought out and delivered well. The romance between Katniss Gale and Peeta gave the story the depth and emotion it needed. As well as the love Katniss and Prim shared. 

Not wanting to give to much away I will give a a short overview of the basic story line. Set in the aftermath of the apocalypses the books follow the life of Katniss a sixteen year old girl who is forced to fight for her survival  against others in a life or death game where there can only be one winner.thrown in for good measure is a love triangle a corrupt government and the bond two sisters have. All leading up to a surprising ending. definitely worth Reading. alright until the next book! God Bless!
