A couple of weeks ago I reviewed the first book of The Hunger Games trilogy, also called The Hunger games: read that first.

During the subsequent 36 hours, staying up much of two nights, I finished the next two books, Catching Fire and Mockingjay.  They’re addictive, easy to read, entertaining, and highly recommended.

Just like the Matrix movies, I think the first book is the best.  But just like the Matrix movies, you kind of can’t stop until you’re done with the trilogy.  It’s that gripping.

I don’t want to spoil the plot, so I won’t reveal any details here, but I can’t wait for the movie next month.

And there’s no way I’m writing a blog post that mentions the Matrix without plugging one of its many awesome scenes.
