Hunger Games

Overall The Hunger Games was a well flowing adventure that keeps you hanging on till the pages end. It starts out with a post apocalyptic world that’s main form of entertainment is human slaughter through a competition for food and honor. Suzanne Collins placed sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen at District 12 with a choice in front of her; let her twelve year old sister die by the hands of the other competitors, or put herself in harm’s way and fight in place of her sister. The flow of the novel is very well done and has an interesting chain of events. As with any strong adventure novel there is a hero that has to make tough decisions, fight for their honor, and learn skills and lessons from a wise mentor who was the victor of the 50th Hunger Games. There is also a unique and well schemed romance that will help keep our hero alive, well, and in a good place with the audience and sponsors of the competition. This book is highly recommended to people who enjoy a quicker read with lots of high action and fierce battle. Regardless, I would even give this book another read! - Jason S., class of 2012
