The Hunger Games Series

In the 50ies there was Lord of the Flies, in the 80ies The Blue Lagoon. Lately there has been a blossoming of Dytopian Nightmare Worlds that includes Divergent, The Maze, Twilight, The Vampire Tales. Many seem to have female heroines. There are alien invasions à la V, Independence Day, Falling Skies; there are takeovers by sentient computers and then there are human created nightmares the Hunger Games being one such. There are no winners here, only survivors to quote Haymitch whose solution is to descend into an alcoholic haze. So Peeta or Gale? I happen to favour Gale.
