The Hunger Games is taking the world by a storm. It has to be a most adored franchise like the Harry Potter franchise.
Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone 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.
In the ruins of what was America the country is divided into twelve districts. Katniss Everdeen is sixteen years old and has been taking care of her family since her father died. Every year the districts endure a reaping in which two tributes, one girl and one boy from the ages of twelve and seventeen are randomly picked to participate in a fight to the death televised event. When her younger sister is picked Katniss volunteers to take her place.
I never knew from the beginning what to expect from books about dystopia. I was in fact turned away from the genre after reading Uglies by Scott Westerfield, but I found myself enjoying this book so much. The Hunger Games came out when I was in high school. I was first brought to the book when I borrowed it from a friend and I only made it to the first fifty pages. Seeing the trailer from the movie made me realize that there is something more to this book, so I decided to read it again.
I totally ship Katniss and Peeta. What I loved the most about the book was the main character Katniss, she was such a strong heroine she was, she wasn't afraid to do the right thing. She is a fierce heroine, the worst heroine I ever read was Bella, I hate damsel in distress, it makes women look incredibly weak. The final book in the trilogy was dark, but I was glad everything worked out for Katniss. If you watch the movie, the movie shows what it's like from the whole perspective of the districts and the games, the books take place from the mind of Katniss. I enjoyed this book, and I hope others enjoy it as well.
