The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Review

The Hunger Games

Suzanne Collins

374 pages

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a great book about a future North America called Panem. The country is divided into 12 districts and a Capitol and each district is responsible for one different nessecity that keeps the Capitol's citizens alive and happy. Because of a huge war that rocked the country, the Capitol now hosts the Hunger Games once a year, a brutal reality show that forces kids between the ages of 12-18 to fight to the death as punishment. The story follows Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 as she enters the Hunger Games, and tries to survive.

This has to be one of my favourite books. The plot-alothough the idea is sick-is very well planned out. The characters are bold and unique and even though this will not happen in 100 years, the characters are also relatable. Katniss, the protective sister, Prim, the small helpless little girl, and Peeta, the invisible nobody. My favourite character has to be Katniss, by far. I know she is the main character but she is so bold and outspoken. My favourite part of the book is definetely the Reaping. It is so tense and when you hear the name of the tribute going to the Hunger Games, you die inside. The first time I read this, I actually yelled out in surprise.

To be honest, I can't think of anything I didn't like in this book.


Overall I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. The book was so well written and the feelings of the character were  always clear, even if they were confused. She is a wonderful writer and I love her work. I would recommend this book to everyone!
