The Hunger Games


I think the reason why I love the trilogy so much is because it's different.
Yes, it is my typical read: romance/adventure/mystery
BUT, it's also... real.

As I ventured further and further into the novels, I realized that our society is just like Panem.
As much as I hate to admit it, it's true.
Our government is no more corrupt than that in the books.

And I begin to laugh.
No, not pyschotically. Or maybe so.
But because it took a book for me to realize such a reality of the world I live in.
