The HUNGER Games is a game of survival... the last one who manages to stay alive wins.. his/her family will have food and shelter for the rest of their lives...

the story is set in a post-apocalyptic world... a damaging world war has just ended that killed the most of the population of the world.. starvation, sufferings and violence govern the new world...

a central city known as the Capitol came into power.... after some of the other cities/districts revolted and failed, the Capitol punished the other cities by making the HUNGER GAMES...

each year, the other cities or districts will send 2 persons (or they call tributes) to participate in the Hunger Games... all the tributes will fight for their lives in the Hunger games....

the games are held in a controlled arena where there are video cameras.. all the movements of the tributes are showed on air for everyone to watch... each kill is recorded and showed on live TV...

the selection of the tributes is the fun part... it is through lottery.. qualification is from 12 to 18 years of age.... the "winners" will be taken by the CAPITOL to the arena... they will be like temporary superstars.. they will be dressed and trained and promoted by the media... they will be well fed and taken cared of before they fight... they will even have their own coaches to give them survival techniques..

The story is about the 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th Games after his 12 year old sister was picked in the lottery...

i find this story interesting... its quite a new concept for me... killing to survive... killing so your family can have something to eat...

and the nice thing about this is --> the movie will be coming out soon.... hopefully by next year...

I also have this set!

However, I heard from a friend that this trilogy is some sort of a rip-off from a Japanese movie entitled "Battle Royale" which was released back in 2000. Haven't watched the movie yet so I really can't say.
