The Hunger Games, tells the story of an unfortunate teenage girl, Katniss Evergreen, who struggles to support her family. She lives in a futuristic age where her country is separated into 12 different districts. Every year a boy and a girl from each district have no choice but to compete in the most violent & dangerous game created. The object of the game is to kill enemy competitors, and to survive the gruelling challenges that the mischievous game makers put into play. their minds are put to the ultimate test when they have to think of strategies to win.
When Peeta Mellark, a boy who lives in the same district as Katniss and is competing in the Hunger Games has confessed on national television that he has feelings for her, tension, confusion and anger are felt by Katniss. She is unsure whether to trust him or if he's just putting it on for show. Their friendship is stretched to its limit and soon unravels into a tragic love story.
Despite the sluggish start to the book, the overall storyline is very intriguing and I recommend it to teenagers who love a thrill.
