The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Reviews

Description

Publisher's Description:
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol 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-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, 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 dead 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 will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

    This is a great book. It's part of a 3 part series. So far I've read the first two and I can't wait to get my hands on the third/last book. A colleague of mine recommended these books to me when I told her how disappointed I was with the Twilight series.

    I am so glad that she recommended these books to me! This is how a suspence/romance/thriller book should read! I'm not an avid reader by any means so I was surprised when I totally zipped through the book in 3 days! I highly recommend this series.

    If they make a movie about it, I am definitely going to go watch it (and I know that they will definitely be better than Twllight). =P

    Read it on saturday in one go, and can't stop thinking about it today. Peeta! Rue! Gale! Prim! (I'm naming characters by the way), It's one of those stick-in-your-head-like-honey books, and depresses me to no end, but Definitely worth it! I understsand what all the hype was about, and it's a GREAT after-harry-potter-read!

    So, after all the hype of the movie coming out, I decided to try reading this book. I wasn't sure what to think of it at first since it's for teens but I'm glad I read it. It was an excellent book! Don't read it if you're not into deaths and fighting. This was an intense book and now i can't wait to go home to read the second one. It's nowhere as good as Harry Potter in my opinion but definitely a good read and I'm excited for the movie to come out.
