Today, I’m reviewing The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I must admit, this one has to be my ultimate favorite book. Her fame is true to her amazing writing style—she’s the new J.K. Rowling. I swear.
Katniss Everdeen, the main character, lives in District 12 of a nation called Panem, located in the ruins of what used to be North America. (This story is futuristic in setting but lacks all the science-fiction-y future elements that some may cringe at.) Each year in Panem, each of the twelve districts offer two of their children (one boy, one girl) as tributes to take part in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live television.
When Katniss’s sister, Prim, is called to be the female tribute from District 12, Katniss steps forward to take her sister’s place in the Games. When she befriends the male tribute from her district, Katniss must make painful choices that “weigh survival against humanity and life against love.” (From The Hunger Games back cover)
My favorite book of all time, The Hunger Games easily tops my list of favorite books with Collins’s eloquent, captivating, poignant, and beautiful style; as well as a gripping plot line and expert pacing. With a fresh and unique voice, the protagonist is easily loved and even more easily relatable.
A must-read for teens and adults alike.
Read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins—you will fall in love just as much as I did.
