The Hunger Games

I have recently finished reading The Hunger Games by suzanne collins, which was a totally different story then what i have read before. it had a very clever plot in it and i thought it was a great read. I was herring a lot about the hunger games sense everybody was always talking about it, and then the movie came out and i thought to my self, i guess i could read it. I'm glad i did because one of the best books i have ever read. Though it was one of my favorites it was not completely perfect. in the very beginning of the book there a couple chapters or so describing the setting, setting up a back story. I thought that suzanne collins could have done a better job giving it a past story, because i never really got a good sense of when the story takes place until about half way through. Just because there was this one flaw in the story there were several more better things suzanne collins has done. She does a fantastic job of showing not telling, she really makes it feel like your in the story, which is why its such a addictive read. She also had great sensory detail, for example there is a explotion and the main character is blown off her feet and her ears burst, suzanne collins describes it in such a way that you can almost feel what the main character is feeling.
