Twenty-three have to
die in order for you to live. Is it worth it?
The Hunger
Games is a competition of two kids (a boy and a girl tribute) from each
district who have to fight to the death. Katniss, the female protagonist from
District 12, has to keep herself alive by killing kids and anything else that
gets in her way. She has to find food/water/shelter, make alliances, and battle
The Capitol. The Capitol is like a dictatorship that governs all twelve
districts. During the games, they create obstacles to eliminate competitors
until there is one champion.
The love
triangle among Katniss, Peeta (the male District 12 tribute), and Gale (her
best guy friend) is complicated. It adds suspense because it makes you want to
know what happens and whom Katniss will choose because she develops feelings
for both. The book is really good because it has action, yet it also has
romance; they are engrossing to both genders.
If you
choose to read this first book in the trilogy, I want to warn you that it can
be disturbing and very violently descriptive. I don’t recommend this for
younger kids because it is gory, but older readers (even adults) can enjoy it.
My father is the one who recommended it to me.
I have high expectations for the remaining books, Catching Fire
and Mockingjay, because so far, it has been an exciting reading
experience. I am curious to see how the love triangle ends up as well as see
who lives and who dies.
