Whether you're 50, 15 or in between, reader or not, you are guaranteed to be smitten with The Hunger Games. If you're a fan of dystopian, futuristic or action/ adventure novels, than your cravings will be cured with this trilogy.
P.S. this series has a lot of violence and is at times quite confronting. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone under 13 or who is sensitive to violence.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
THE HUNGER GAMES is one of my favourite books of all time. I got it for my birthday one year and that night, I read the whole book, I could not put it down. I have recommended this book for teenagers who loved it and have read the trilogy many times, to adults who have also not been able to put it down; and have been able to convert many non-readers with this trilogy.
The Gale-Peeta situation is so cleverly crafted that each have their merits, making you feel indecisive and aligned with Katniss. My favourite character was Haymitch - probably just because I thought he was hilarious; but that was just me?
All that I can say at the moment is that you have to read it. You must. You absolutely must. Right now. Go to the bookstore/ library (I don't discriminate.). Get a copy. Right. Now. Read.

I like Haymitch too, is hilarious, yes, but also quite touching when you think about it!
Really descriptive review and I agree with everything you have said about the Hunger Games- It's a brilliant novel and glad you enjoyed it.
