Oh Suzanne Collins, I see what you did there.  You made a sci-fi story in a distant future broken apart America where death, media sponsors, and celebrity come together.  Where annually, teenagers get thrown into an arena to battle to the death to show the citizens who controls them.  So topical and timely, you are, Suzanne Collins.  Katniss, our badass heroine, is fighting for her life in the Hunger Games.  Oh this book is so good.  It is a quick read too.  I’m skeptical that this would be classified in YA fiction because its gruesome and brutal and Collins spares no character from death, destruction, and/or being flawed.  Despite the bloody gruesomeness of the Hunger Games, I could not put this book down.
