The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games, a thriller book, set in the not to distant future, in Northern America, is about a group of twelve districts. Each year the twelve districts select one boy and one girl to enter a competition called the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games, is a competition where the last person surviving wins. There are no rules.

The main character of this story is Katniss Everdeen. A young girl from district twelve. Katniss is very family focused. Her sister, Primrose, is her inspiration. Prim is a young girl, unable to take care of herself. When Prim is selected to enter the Hunger Games, Katniss will not accept this, and opts to enter the games herself. Katniss's partner in the game is a young lad called Peter. He is the son of a wealthy baker in district 12. Each contestant in the games have their own special talent. Katniss's talent is archery and hunting. This is showcased at the talent show, before each Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a very engaging, exciting and moving book, about hope, perserverence and a touch of gore. I recommend this book to teenagers between the ages of 13-18. I rate this book a 9.5/10.
