Since I read these before the Hunger Games, they will always be the first thing I think of when I hear Suzanne Collins' name. I absolutely love these books, and I was very sad when the series ended. In these books, you can really see Collins' writing evolve from the first book to the last, and then on into the Hunger Games. In the last book, for example, the tone and plot seem to be sort-of predecessors to the Hunger Games in that the book takes a turn for the darker, more sinister side of both human nature and what violence can do to a person. Beyond that, the ending of the series seems to have become her trademark: a bittersweet end that leaves the reader knowing that happy endings aren't realistic. Even though I generally prefer happy endings to uncertain, dark endings, the climaxes of both the Underland Chronicles and the Hunger Games felt right, and accurately got across the message that I think Collins was trying to state: life can be uncertain and dangerous at times, but we just need to keep moving forward.
The Hunger Games? Nope, they aren't being sold in China yet. I've heard loads of great things about them so far, though, and I'm a member on the forum. Speaking of that:
