The Hunger Games/Catching Fire/Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

To put it simply, The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins is one of the best series I've ever read. I liked how it was written in a way that you only knew exactly what Katniss knew, and every surprise that she encountered was also a surprise to the reader. It made the plot that much more exciting throughout the three books, because it felt like you were facing everything Katniss was alongside her. I think the way Katniss develops as a character is really interesting. She starts off as a tough, family oriented, and slightly rebellious girl who could care less about what people think of her, and I love the way that she maintains these traits throughout everything she faces in the games. What I found interesting about her character was that she did not lose herself--all the things that made Katniss unique still existed throughout the book and she just learned to embrace them and express them in a way that not only helped herself, but benefited the entire community. I also find her admirable, because she is not afraid to stand up and fight, but she would still rather choose peace, and she cares about her family more than anyone else. By Mockingjay, Katniss has really become a better version of herself. Katniss's character and the way the book was written were not the only things that I loved about these three books. They all were impossible to put down and were constantly throwing curve balls. Also, the concept is really unique and different. I find this trilogy overall to be well written, fascinating, and really exciting.
