The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I went into reading these books open minded but secretly a bit sceptical. First off, I am generally not a fan of "teen" books. Secondly, I am not a fan of "futuristic" books. Since this story gets a check by both of those categories, I can't say that I had high hopes. However, the book was wonderful. I am so glad that I didn't start reading this when it first came out in 2008 because I do not think I could have been able to wait for the second book to come out. I literally was ordering the second book on my kindle within seconds of finishing it because I couldn't stand to not know what happens next. The story line is fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. There is never a dull moment which is great except when you have to work the next day and are trying to weigh your options between sleep and find out what happens to Katniss.
