A review by librarybonanza
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
5.0
Age: 8th-adult
Katniss (the coolest name in the world) must fight to the death in the Hunger Games against 24 other children ages 12-18 in the distopian world of Panem. After the world is torn apart by disease, famine, and other really sad things, an oppressive government rises up. A rebellion is quashed by the regime and the Treaty of Treason is established to remind the citizens that they have no power against the tyrannical government. In this treaty all children ages 12-18 are called to submit their names into a lottery where 24 children must fight to the death in a controlled natural environment, all while being televised across the nation.
Quick, engaging, believable, and disturbing, I was enraptured from beginning to end, oftentimes having to stop right in the middle of a chapter because the chapter endings were always cliff hangers. I believe that Katniss was a very well flushed out and believable character, agreeing with her decisions even if I didn't want to.
