Well that's the first book in the Hunger Games trilogy finished. Thoroughly enjoyed it, a pretty impressive ride and so much better than the movie, which for some reason I have watched, I've held off watching the next two movies until I have finished the books.

For a while I was impatient for the action to start and for the fighting to get going in the arena, but the way the book is written making the tension build up with boring run-of-mill interviews is very clever, by the time the trumpets sound and the games begin you find yourself on the edge of your seat.

For once one of these books people say "you have to read" is actually really good. yay!
