The Hunger Games


Have you ever wondered what the future world would be like? Have you ever used a bow and arrow before? Would you take care of your sister and mother by yourself, or even kill an innocent person? Well, the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is an action-packed suspenseful book with a romantic twist, all taking place in the future! With life-changing decisions and the quest for survival, join the main character on the adventure of a life-time.

Once North America, the nation of Panem is settled around one Capitol, the richest city. Each and every year, two people from each district are forced to participate in the Hunger Games, a cruel fight to the death broadcasted on live TV. Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen-year-old, takes her sister's place in the Games, knowing the winner will receive fame and fortune, while losing means death. Will she be able to outlast the other twenty-three competitors?

What I enjoyed most about the book is that every chapter ends with a cliff-hanger, so to discover the next secret you have to read the next chapter. Plus, Collins has such a way of writing that it actually seems like you're the main character running for your life.

Will Katniss win or die? Are there more secrets to herself that even she doesn't know? Read the Hunger Games and I guarantee you'll be satisfied.
