Books | The Hunger Games Trilogy


        The Hunger Games trilogy is a series of young adult adventure novels by Suzanne Collins. The trilogy consists of The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. This story begins with a description of a typical family, which is under the influence government of Capitol, Panem, and ended real war between districts against President Snow.

      The story I liked the fact that she was special. It has everything: war, intrigue, friendship, love, and death.  The main character Katnis - a true hero, who has not broken under the pressure of enemies, she helped all her loved ones. Her brooch of Mockingjay has become a symbol of war. I really admire her stamina, she lost Prim, Odair and a lot of other people, but she was able to survive it. In the first book, I think she is a bit meanly did with Peeta, because he really fell in love with her, she always treated him with a little biased. I feel sorry for Peeta, because he was not prepared for the Games, for him it was really hard, but he won.
     Katniss and Peeta were able to change the rules of the game, they proved that it is possible change something  if you really want it, yeah, it was a difficult game against the Capitol. They gave people to live freely.
     My favorite book probably the first, because it is the most calm, I think I will read this trilogy many times, it's really beautiful story. I really love film adaptation.

Book | The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (2008)

      The Hunger Games is a science fiction novel by the American writer Suzanne Collins. It is written about  the 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America in  District 12 with mother and sister Prim. They are poor and so she goes hunting with her friend Gale in the woods. Each year, the Capitol selects children aged from 12 to 18 on the Hunger Games. At Harvest chose her sister, but Katniss was the tributes, instead of her, the second tributes was Peeta Mellark was the son of a baker.
     They went to the game, it all started with training and parade. Games beganon the first day was lost almost half of tributes. There they fight for life, Peeta teams up with a pro, and it saves his life for a while. Then Rue, a girl from District 11 assists Katniss. Then Peeta injuring a knife, the rules have changed, now can win two, if they are from the same district.
        Katniss rescues him, they spent three days in a cave, where she cared for him, and their mentor Haymitc, said Katniss how to handle with Peeta  where you have to to hug, where to kiss, Peeta  believed in her feelings. All this she played that people to think that they are star-crossed lovers. Peeta did not know about.
    End a bit in the book more than film. Capitol created the animals, which were rounded up the three finalists to the horn of plenty. Cato they tore it long tormented, after he said Katniss shooting him, so he do not suffer. Her and Peeta took the plane, there Peeta fell fainting, to him put the an artificial leg. Then Peeta found out that actually Katniss does not love it, for him is a big blow.
     This book makes think. I really feel sorry for Peeta, he loved Katniss, and she deceived him. It really hurts. I think that's the story and the book is very interesting. It can be read many times, that is why it bestseller. The film is very well embodied the story.
