Review: The hunger games by Suzanne Collins

Release date: October 1st 2008
Published by:Scholastic
Number of pages:374 (Us hardcover)
Series:the hunger games triology
Grade: A+


Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with every one out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? 


In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel
 and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games,
 a fight to the death on live TV. 


Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her 
sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. 
Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against 
humanity and life against love. 

I knew this book would be good because basicly every bookie on the internet raves about it, but I didn't think I'd love it as much as I did. While reading the hunger games,
it felt like I was right there, next to Katniss, in her fight for survival on live-TV.
I love ALL the characters usually there is one or two characters that gets on my nerves but here I just love em' all.


The plot is so amazing and the scariest thing is that this actually could happen in the future. Just imagine todays reality-shows and when people get tired of those,
what will the TV-people do to entertain the public? 


As the romantic girl I am the only thing I missed was looove, I mean there is a small love triangle but not much. I guess you could say that Katniss and I have our
differences.


The hunger games by Suzanne Collins Gets an A+
