Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games

Suzanne Collins

Stars- ☆☆☆☆
Rating- PT-T

The Hunger Games series is thrilling. A great post apocalypse novel where the government selects two children form each of 12 districts to fight to the death in the annual, "Hunger Games." The Hunger Games are a punishment to the districts for rebelling in the past. There are some gory scenes with some very extensive descriptions. Its rated Pre-Teen to Teen because of the nasty scenes of the death of multiple characters.

Matched by Ally Condie

Matched

By Ally Condie

Stars- ☆☆☆☆
Rating- PT-T

Matched is a post apocalyptic book in which the world has crumbled and a new society was born. The new society, cleverly named The Society, seems awfully overbearing. There are only 100 songs, poems, paintings, ect. The rest have been "Purged" from society. Everyone caries a blue, green, and red pill which all have very interesting effects. I won't spoil anything of course. The citizens time, activities, knowledge, and belongings are restricted. In this society people are matched with their most "optimal partner" for life. Its like an arranged marriage. This is what happens to the main character Cassia. But I won't spoil the book for everyone. It is a riveting book full of action and adventure and forbidden romance. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and I absolutely can't wait to read the sequel Crossed

Insurgent- Veronica Roth

Insurgent

Veronica Roth

Stars- ☆☆☆☆
Rating- T

Insurgent is the sequel to to Divergent, a wonderful novel. In this sequel the story line really picks up and it shows just how completely awesome the main characters are. Romance and action story lines twist and turn and tie in knots. Its a fast paced book, much faster than the first and continues to keep you on the edge of your seat. It can be violent at times and very intense but its definitely worth it.

Divergent- Veronica Roth

Divergent is first of all a wonderful book. A lot like the Hunger Games, Divergent is a dystopian society book in which the main city is organized in five main factions. Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Erudite, and Dauntless. All the factions value certain character traits, Abnegation values selflessness, Amity Peace, Candor Honesty, Erudite Knowledge, and Dauntless Bravery. It is an amazing book involving romance and plenty of action. All and all a great read and an exciting book to the beginning of a great series. I can't wait to read the sequel Insurgent.
