If you are reading this review, chances are that you're wondering if the Hunger Games trilogy lives up to the hype. Yes. A thousand times yes. All you need to do is read the first few pages of The Hunger Games to verify this. You'll be pulled in and under. You'll set aside anything else you've been reading. You'll shirk your duties at work. You'll start reading under the table at dinnertime. I quickly learned that the only way I could make myself close the covers would be to break off in the middle of a chapter. If I waited until the end, the unbelievable cliffhanger with which Collins closes every single chapter would catch me and pull me back into the book. The only way to read these books is compulsively.

3rd in HG Series
Is it necessary to give more praise than what has been shown for this series? This third book completes the Hunger Games series with a bang. Great ending.

The Hunger Games, the first book in the trilogy, stems from the story of Theseus and the Minotaur. King Minos of
Crete had defeated the Athenians in war, and to solidify his authority over them,
demanded a tribute of seven Athenian boys and seven Athenian girls to be fed
to the Minotaur every nine years. The Minotaur was half-bull and half-man, a vicious
creature born from the union of Minos' wife, Pasiphaë, and a snow-white bull sent
down by Poseidon. The Minotaur lived at the center of a labyrinth at King Minos'
palace at Knossos...
