The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Once a year, the Hunger Games is held in Panem, the dystopian nation. One girl and one boy with the ages 12 to 18 will be picked from 12 anxious districts by a yearly lottery to contend in the Hunger Games. It's an event where 24 kids are picked at fortuitous and only one can survive. The contender? A sixteen year old girl, Katniss Everdeen from District 12 who offers to volunteer as tribute to take her little sister, Prim's place for the 74th annual Hunger Games. They must fight to the death while being televised.
I found this book really captivating, I was so obsessed with it that I just couldn’t stop reading it. This book is like AMAZING!! Katniss Everdeen is so courageous. She reminds me of Joan of Arc. She would do anything to keep her family and friends alive even if she has to risk her life and she knows a lot more than anyone else does.
This book is about love, sacrifice and definitely survival and i loved that about the book. It tells us that it’s not just about 24 kids put into this terrible game trying to kill each other, it’s more than that. Like what Peeta said when he was on the rooftop with Katniss, he wanted to let the Capitol know that he is more than just a part of their games.
Overall, I really loved reading The hunger Games, such an extraordinary story!!
