The Hunger Games
By Suzanne Collins
Welcome to the world
of Panem, the country that was once called North America in this futuristic
tale we are thrown into the Hunger Games with a young woman named Katniss Everdeen.
Panem is made up of the Capitol and the 12 districts, introducing us to an autocratic
government where the districts must follow the Capitol’s rules any signs of
defiance or disobedience is punishable by the authorities in this case the
peacekeepers. At one time there had been
an uprising of the thirteen districts against the Capitol but twelve were
defeated and the thirteen had been “obliterated.” As a reminder that such an uprising should
never happen again the Capitol hosts the Hunger Games every year taking a boy
and girl from each district and pinning them against each other in a fight to
the death.
I started reading
this book after seeing the trailer for the upcoming movie, in my mind I thought
“that looks pretty cool.” So I decided to try out the book, because of the trailer
I had a vague idea what the book would be about. From the very beginning I was
engrossed in Katniss’ tale of adversity, from having to provide for her family
since her father’s death, to her younger sister being chosen for the Hunger Games
and immediately taking her place, and even more that might spoil the book for
you! Usually as I read I some-what compose a review in my head I may read an
interesting part and start composing how I want to include it in my reviews but
for this book I was so captivated that my mind did not once even wander, which in
itself is a feet for me. This is
definitely a young adult novel but if you want a fun easy read I would suggest
you give this one a shot.

Still haven't read these books :p But I think I must, because everybody seems to be in love with them.
ReplyDeletelol! That is one of the reasons I broke down to finally read this one but then I checked out some of the reviews on the next two and I am not sure if I will actually enjoy them. I bought them anyways lol once I start something I feel the need to finish it.
