Are you a fan of The Hunger Games series? Then you may really enjoy taking this quiz & seeing which Hunger Games character you are closest resembling! The first book of The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, arrived on bookshelves in 2008. It quickly became a hit among young adults, who eagerly snapped up the book and its sequels, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. A prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, was released in 2020 and details the early life of one of the trilogy's villains, Coriolanus Snow.

After the success of the novels, the story was turned into a film franchise starring Jennifer Lawrence as main character Katniss Everdeen. Released in 2012, the first Hunger Games film enjoyed significant critical and popular success; it's credited with launching Lawrence's career as an actress. However, unlike the books, the film adaptation features four volumes. Mockingjay was split into two parts to cover all the material contained in the final volume.

Fun Facts

In several interviews, Suzanne Collins has related the unique way in which inspiration came to her for the series. Suffering from a cold and unable to sleep, she was channel surfing late at night and found herself switching between a reality TV show and a documentary on Greek mythology. That's when she got the idea for a story about a culture that sent its children to die as tributes and televised the entire event.

As the trilogy opens, Katniss is a teenager who supports her mother and sister by illegally poaching in the Appalachian woods and then selling or eating her catches. Collins says the inspiration for Katniss' hunting, and the lavish descriptions of how Katniss hunts, came from stories told by her father. He was Katniss' age during the Great Depression, and hunting was how he kept his own family alive in those tough times.
