Hunger Games Review

Hello my lovely readers and welcome to my review of the Hunger Games! The movies to these books have recently been shown on Foxtel, and I was reminded of how much I want to read the books when I saw them! So here is a review of the whole series, including a section for the prequel, The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes. Sorry about not giving the review expected, but I was borrowing the Red Queen series and haven't managed to get the next books, so a review couldn't be done. I hope you enjoy this one just as much!

Book trio from The Looking Glass Belgrave, $20 and prequel from Dymocks for $22.99

The Hunger Games was a great series that really captivated me. I loved the way the line between good and evil was blurred and the way romance was slipped in without feeling out of place. I felt like the quality of the books didn't deteriorate as the series went on as it does with some books. They were very well written and the details that were given added to the story in amazing ways.

The storyline was amazing and full of twists. I felt like the way killing was portrayed was true, it definitely showed the way it rips apart your soul unlike  some other series where killing is seen as something you get used to. The romantic dilemma was realistic and raw, but didn't overtake the whole series. I feel like there was some I-don't-know-what-to-do-with-this-character-so-I'll-kill-them moments, but most deaths had purpose. The twist of the surviving district shocked me, and I loved the way that 13 was in the grey zone, not good or evil, and I loved how realistic the confusion about loyalties was. The ending was a bit confusing to me, but I thought that The Hunger Games was an amazing series.

What about the prequel? The little moments that related to the trio made me sink even deeper into the world of Panem.

Characters, rules, even songs were referenced from the first three books and I loved it. The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes definitely showed a different side to the Hunger Games and it made you more sympathetic to the Capitol. I look forward to reading these books again and again!

Thankyou for taking the time to read my review, and if you've had time for this, then I would appreciate it if you would spend just five minutes checking out The Looking Glass' website. They're an amazing second hand bookstore with affordable books and other nicknacks.

Thankyou again,

Ruby Red
