The Hunger Games trilogy is gripping. I picked up the second
book in the trilogy near enough as soon as I finished the first; I needed to
know what else the ‘Capitol’ could possibly put Katniss through. There is a
build-up of anticipation ‘as whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol’
spread across Panem. A rebellion started by Katniss’ bold act at the end of the
Seventy-Fourth Hunger Games.
As with the first book, each chapter in ‘Part II’ ends in
suspense. From the moment the Quarter Quell is announced the book will hardly
leave your hands. I became drawn into the world Collins had created. You will
become emotionally involved. You will feel Katniss’ pain, her hunger, her
confusion. You will want to help – but you can’t. You will read in anticipation
fearing for her, and needing her questions answered. It is a thrilling intense
experience.
The third in the trilogy, Mockingjay, is now by my side. At
exactly 7.30pm I’ll be sat in the Silver Screen Cinema in Folkestone, ready to
see how Collins’ vision of the future has been depicted on the big screen. The
big screen will bring Panem to audiences who prefer to watch than read, but
also bringing what many readers have held in their head and hold dear, to life.
I am excited for the film but can safely say now – it will hold nothing on the
books, films never do.
