Praise for The Hunger Games

"[The Hunger Games] is a violent, jarring speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense... I couldn't stop reading."

-Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly

"I was so obsessed with this book I had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so I wouldn't have to stop reading. The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it... The Hunger Games is amazing."

-Stephanie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga

"Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced... Engrossing."

-John Green, New York Times Book Review

"[A] plot-driven blend of suspense, science fiction, and romance."

-USA Today

Recommendation for Catching Fire

I would recommend Catching Fire, the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy, to anyone. Suzanne Collins left you hanging at every twist and turn. It was an exciting novel filled with action, adventure, and suspense. But first, read The Hunger Games, where it all began in District 12.

Relationship - Katniss & President Snow

When he found out the victors' love was a scandal, President Snow warned Katniss of the consequences. Not wanting to learn the hard way, she asked - and eventually begged - Peeta and Haymitch to help her keep the country in belief of their love. But if they cannot prove to Snow, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are madly in love, the consequences for all of Panem will be horrifying.

Relationship - Katniss & Haymitch

Haymitch has confided in Katniss since the beginning of the Games. She knew his thoughts and plans through his gifts for survival, and Peeta was left clueless.

Haymitch must keep the balance between the victors, and keep the jest up, or the underestimated power of the uprising may soon find its target.

Relationship - Katniss & Gale

Katniss and Gale have been life-long friends, but the Hunger Games made them lose contact. When Gale learned of Katniss' "love" for Gale, he felt betrayed, and the two grew apart.
