Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
5 stars - Incredible book, page-turner, exciting!!! Can't wait for the sequel and movie release!
Suzanne Collins has done it again! Just like the Underworld Chronicles, she has written a riveting new series that YA and adult readers will find irresistible.
Katniss is the spunky, admirable main character in this futuristic novel. The story takes place in Panem. The capitol of Panem with its 12 outlying districts "celebrate" a gruesome annual event that's viewed by everyone - the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games seem like a virtual reality video game - except the horrors are experienced in real life by the children who live in Panem.
Each year two children's names are drawn from each district to participate in the Hunger Games. The group must compete and fight in order to determine the winner. The only way to win this game is to stay alive - and to destroy all others before they destroy you. When Katniss's little sister's name is drawn from this year's participants, she quickly volunteers to take her place. Katniss knows she is poorer and weaker than the other participants, but she has skills they lack: determination, survival instincts, superior hunting skills, and a fierce need to save her family from their current plight of starvation and misery.
Though the odds are against her, Katniss emerges as a strong competitor - and a crowd favorite. The greatest threat to survival is not the life-threatening starvation and dehydration she faces, nor the blood-thirsty, cruel children from other districts. Katniss must contend with her feelings for another competitor, Peeta. Peeta seems to care for her and protect her, but isn't it all an act? Will he betray her in the end? How can she destroy the only love she has ever known?
There will only be one winner, but this victory will come at a great cost.
Amazing story, readers will be hooked
The Hunger Games was amazing!!I thought it was an ironic twist on how the future would be like the times of the hunter/gatherer times.This is a great book were the author takes you away.
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger games was awesome.I could not put the book down!The auther just takes you to a different world.
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games was the most amazing book I've ever read. It takes you places with the words and sometimes is brutally sad. The cliffhanger at the end is enough to make me want to read the second book!
ReplyDeleteThe hunger games is the best book ever! IF you like a book that you caany put down read this. It is a book that is sad and yet a exciteing and awsome book. This is a book that everyone needs to read. The books clifhanger is the best part of this book.
ReplyDeleteI thought Hunger Games was a great book. I thought it was very exciting to hear what katniss had to say about all of her different adventures in the story. My favorite part of the story was when katniss and peeta both won the hunger games because the got to leave a waste land of deaths. It was surprising to see Rue die so early in the arena I thought she be one of the last four or three to die at the end of the book. I would recommend this to book to a friend because it's a great story.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne Collins is amazing! The plot of this Capital and the cruelty of the Hunger Games makes this book even more suspenseful and exiting. With a awesome mixture of Suspense, romance, violence, and adventure, it all makes this book a must-read!
ReplyDeleteI liked this book so much! These kinds are always my favorite ones. I just love that suspence Suzan Collins puts on all her books. One thing i liked of the book was the cliffhanger. I recomend this book to every one who love to read intresting books!
ReplyDeletethat book was awsome. it was intence and had a lot of details in it. it gave me the chills!!!!
ReplyDeleteBEST BOOK EVER!
ReplyDeleteI really like this book. Its so differnt from everything i usally read it makes me want to start expanding my chocies. The whole plot amazes me. The idea of creating a book based on a broken down USA, or Paneum. Where there land is surronding by twelve districts who are all fighting for hunger. when the evil goverment or captiol survies on there districts fear gives the people one chance of survial, or complete death. I love also how Katniss starts a confuceing romance with Peeta. She loves him but not from the start.
ReplyDeleteamazing! the best si-fy book ever! im almost done with it. any one who likes survival, the woods, and exploring new places, i most definatly recomend it.
