In the past I have either read or listened to the audio books from the Gregor the Overlander series by Suzanne Collins. Overall the Gregor books were good, but the writing to me got repetitive, which considering the intended audience is not that big of an issue. With the Hunger Games Trilogy I never notice the writing style as I was so engrossed in the book.
The story consumed me from start to finish, and I hated when life interrupted and I had to stop reading. I devoured the second and third books starting Catching Fire mid morning on a Saturday and wrapping up Mockingjay on Sunday evening. These are stories that intend to go back to and reread to catch all the little details I may have missed zooming through them.
Initially when I first heard of these stories I had next to no interested in them. The whole premise sounded terrible. After the movie came out, which I have not seen, my interest was peaked, and then faded again. For whatever reason I decided to give the series a shot, and I am sure glad I did.
