I loved these books that finished off the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. I know when I posted about Hunger Games, I was a little ho hum, but Suzanne Collins got so much better by the end. It reminded me of Harry Potter in that the books were simpler when they characters were simpler, and as the characters progressed and understood more, we as the readers were ready for more as well. The books fall in a genre called dystopia, you can also find The Giver and 1984 in this group. These are books that for tell danger in coming societies if we don't change our ways. The futuristic society of these stories fortell the dangers of greed, a system that relies on the poor to create a comfortable living for the rich, and government control. I love that Collins did not answer every question or resolve every concern, by the end of the book, but also left us with hope. I know you will get swept up in Katniss and her family, but you may need to stick around to the second book before you catch fire, at least I did.
