The Hunger Games - By Suzanne Collins
On the back cover:
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capital surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-yea-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before - and survival, for her, is second nature.
Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
My thoughts:
I asked for this book for Christmas and Santa delivered!
I have heard a lot about this book and the 2 other in the trilogy. They are young adult books, but adults have been raving about them (also saying they are way better than Twilight); so I thought I would give it a shot.
I devoured this book. I read it in under 2 days and LOVED it. I can't wait until I get my hands on the next 2.
My rating: 5 out of 5
