Hunger Games

Books from friends, good friends are always better. Ms JJB gifted me the Hunger Games series when I went to go visit her for 'NYC Blizzard Trip 2010!' Until now, I've stayed away from the Young Adult genre. Not because I feel too old or pretentious, but because a lot of them require imagination (don't get me started...). Hunger Games however, keeps it real. And though the plot isn't realistic (government sending kids off to kill each other) I couldn't put this book down.

Katniss Everdeen is the District 12's hero as well as my own. I found myself rooting for the female protagonist. She is loyal, full of heart, not to mention a bad ass hunter. And though the ending wasn't too surprising (Spoiler alert! But come on, there's two other books that follows this series and there's no way the author would kill off the protagonist before) I thoroughly enjoyed this book. And I have the rest ready to go for me! Thanks JJB!
