REVIEWED BY RYAN KAGAN
“Winning will make you famous. Losing means certain death.” These are perfect words to describe the white-knuckle adventure, of Katniss throughout the Hunger Games. Katniss is a courageous 16-year-old girl who will do anything to ensure her mum’s, her sister’s and her own health and safety in the land of Panem. (District 12)
Panem, once known as North America, is a capital surrounded by 12 different districts. One boy and one girl between the age of twelve and eighteen are chosen from every district to participate in the terrifying fight to death in the Hunger Games. Kill or be Killed is the single rule that applies during the games of pure strength and survival. Death has faced Katniss before, so when she enters the arena in place of her sister, she knows it may be her death sentence.
Gale Hawthorne Katniss’s best friend is a very talented and skilled 18-year-old hunter. Gale is in love and extremely caring towards Katniss although, she doesn’t know this at all times.
The title Hunger Games relates to the book in many ways, but I think a better title could include the key word “survival”, focusing on how the whole book relates to trying to stay alive and keeping your feet throughout the life threatening adventure of the Hunger Games.
I would suggest this book for readers who enjoy adventure and suspense. It was a very intense book that I enjoyed and could not put down. I am in the middle of reading the second book in the hunger games trilogy and can’t wait to see the new adventures that Katniss embarks upon.
