The Hunger Games: The fight for survival


The Hunger Games Review
The hunger games are about a nation called Panem where there are 12 districts. The capitol forces each district to send in one girl and one boy that are between 12 and 18 years old to go and fight until there is one person left. And this is all shown live on TV. Katniss Everdeen who is the main character of the novel, lives in District twelve and when the reaping happened her sister prim was chosen to go to the Hunger Games but Katniss volunteered herself to go instead of her sister. Peeta Mellark was also chosen to go to the games. When Katniss gets to the games she encounters a lot of near death situations.

“I was so obsessed with this book….The Hunger Games is amazing.” Stephenie Meyer author of the Twilight Saga on the book jacket
The writing style of the book had suspense in it and always made you want to read more. I haven’t read the other books in The Hunger Game series. But I do hope to read the other ones. Since the writing of the first book was really well detailed and interesting.
“Sixty seconds. That’s how long we’re required to stand on our metal circles before the sound of a gong releases us.”(148)
What I really enjoyed about the book was how the writing was really detailed.
I give the Hunger Games 4 paws- Pounce on it!
