Let the hunger games begin
MANILA, Philippines - The Hunger Games trilogy by bestselling author Suzanne Collins is the hottest new teen series that is taking the world by storm and National Book Store carries it exclusively for Filipino booklovers.
Critics are raving about this thrilling saga that seamlessly blends Greek mythology and reality TV set in a post-apocalyptic world.
Twilight’s Stephenie Meyer calls it “exciting, gut-wrenching, and stunning.” Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels on which the HBO series True Blood is based, says “it’s classified as a young adult novel, but there’s plenty here to keep adults interested, I can testify.” Stephen King says it’s “addictive” and calls the author an efficient no-nonsense prose stylist.
In The Hunger Games, heroine Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old girl living in the impoverished state of Panem, is forced to participate in the annual hunger games competition that has one main objective: kill or be killed. The winner will get abundant food supply for his or her entire district for a year.
The plot revolves around a futuristic Survivor-like reality show with a romantic angle to rival Edward, Bella, and Jacob. The highly anticipated second installment, Catching Fire, sets the stage for more high-octane action and drama to excite readers young and old.
