Suzanne Collins' 'The Hunger Games' has a well thought out plot, that constantly keeps you guessing. Once you think you have it figured out, Collins takes you on a whole new set of ups and downs. Katniss Everdeen (the most kick-ass character I have ever met) goes through a lot for a 16/17 year old and as a reader, you will feel pain, excitement, despair, love, dizziness, and so many more emotions, which will have a physical affect on you for sure. This book perfectly captures the enthusiasm, that so many of today's young adult novels have, and combines it with an odd future world. Collins does not wrap the plot in a pretty pink bow, though. You are left craving the sequel, with more thirst than many readers were between each Harry Potter installments. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone over the age of ten. You will be impressed.
