I'm obsessed with this series, I got the last two books yesterday and I read Catching Fire in two sittings. I'll start and finish the last book tomorrow I think.

For people who have never read or heard of it before it's set in the future in a country called Panem which is essentially a future America. Panem's run by the Capitol which is this luxurious city that lords it over the twelve districts which is where the lower class citizens live and work. After a failed rebellion the Capital creates the Hunger Games as which involves taking two kids from each district and pitting them against each other in a battle to the death in an ever changing booby trapped arena. The main character is a girl called Katniss Everdeen who volunteers for the games in place of her younger sister who was originally picked. It's quite similar to Battle Royale but with a very interesting Reality TV twist.

I can't recommend it enough, I think it's a brilliant series.
