There have been a number of outstanding dystopian fantasies emerging from America, but The Hunger Games is the most profoundly imagined, nightmarish, romantic, psychologically plausible and well-written. It is more than just a very clever futuristic thriller. With a plot twist at the end of every chapter and a relentless pace, The Hunger Games is a master class in suspense fiction.
