Books of Interest: The Hunger Games Box Set

Aside from Harry Potter, I tend to read a lot of popular books after the hype has died down. For instance, I've been reading the Twilight series which is still popular but not as it once was. I already read the first and second books and planning to read the third very soon.

A book series that recently sparked my interest is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I don't know where the interest came from but I'm just going to go with it. Two good things about waiting to read certain books is that by the time I want to read them they are already available in a box set and I can find them for a good price.

Book: The Hunger Games box set by Suzanne Collins

Description:

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
