The Hunger Games


The main character in The Hunger Games is Katniss Everdeen. She is a sixteen-year-old girl who lives in District 12. Every year, there is a traditional Hunger Games. Two children, one boy and one girl, from the twelve districts ruled by the capital, are chosen to participate. The competition is not about running or dancing, the ones we usually think of, but is about survival. The contestants have to kill each other in the arena, and whoever survives the longest is the winner. Will Katniss live through the game and see her beloved family again? And how will she deal with the boy who has a crush on her? Read The Hunger Games to find out.

The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, is just one of many books that have joined the recent wave of dystopian novels; however, it is fresh and interesting anyway. Katniss Everdeen battles with twenty-three other teenagers in a game of life and death. This is definitely an action-packed book and a suspenseful page-turner; it's not wonder this is being turned into a movie! For anyone that enjoys dystopian novels such as Divergent and hasn't read it already, I wholeheartedly recommend The Hunger Games, you won't be disappointed!

Like The Hunger Games? Try the Sequel, Catching Fire

The sequel to The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, adds another amazing chapter to the lives of Katniss and Peeta. As they travel through their victors tour, they receive the news that they once again have to enter the hunger games arena. This exciting book will keep you on the edge of your seat, give you a direct look into the games from a victor herself. I highly recommend this book.
