When someone says, "Amy, you have to read this book - it's the best worst book I've ever read," what choice do I have?The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins grabs you by the throat and pulls you in. You quickly become appalled by what's going to happen and then can't walk away until you find out the resolution. If I were to break it down in it's simplest form I might say The Hunger Games is a futuristic version of survival of the fittest...for 12 to 18 year olds. Twenty four are chosen (12 male, 12 female) but there can be only one survivor. Collins weaves an incredible tale - twists and turns abound. It is not for the faint of heart but those who get through it, book two recently came out and book three is due next summer.
