Pitacus Lore vs. Suzanne Collins. Part one.

    The Rise of Nine by Pitacus Lore is in my opinion a better than any book written by Suzanne Collins.   Collins' books to me were never quite well written and for me the only reason I even read the three horrid books known as the Hunger Games trilogy was to make people stop telling me "Hey dude you should read these books they're awesome." I personally, I repeat personally, (because if you don't  agree with me notice that this is my opinion) believe that the writing in her books was poor. Sometimes I think that the only reason anyone even likes those books is because that they're so brutal. I have also noticed that these books have no real deep story-line.  In fact, the only reason it has a story at all is to lead up to the third book where the entire book series turns into a readable CALL OF DUTY.   The Rise of Nine, coincidentally the third book in its series, in my opinion has a story and plot better than any of the Hunger Games books.

     In the first book of The Hunger Games series, the story line make sense.  She rescues her sister from the Hunger Games by joining herself. She then trains for the upcoming Hunger Games. Then the games begin and she and her "friend" Peta kill a bunch of people and survive the Hunger Games, and no it wasn't the first book I had problems with, mainly it was the second book.

     In the second book Collins couldn't find a way to continue the story without repeating the same plot line of the first book. She couldn't think of anything original so she made her characters have to go through the Hunger Games a second time. This time though all the past time victors would also be contenders.  At first I thought to my self, oh okay, this might be interesting. I noticed that in the sequel there was a lot less action and character development than in the first. In the end I'm not going to ruin your excitement but something COMPLETELY RANDOM DESTROYS THE HUNGER GAMES AND SAVES EVERYONE.

                                                                                            Stay tuned for Part two where I show you how much greater the books Pitacus Lore wrote are than Suzanne Collins.
