The book The Hunger Games is a fantastic book written as the first installment of a three part series.
The plot line focuses on Katniss Everdeen, a young girl growing up in a place called Panem, District 12, on a continent that used to be called North America. After political upheaval in previous years, a cruel government named The Capitol has taken over. Every year the Capitol hosts The Hunger Games, a inhumane sporting tournament. The Hunger Games is basically a fight for survival; two contestants, ages 12-18 are chosen from each district. Then, all the contestants must try to survive until the end. Brutal deaths and starvation is the end for most.
I believe this book is based on the concept that war can turn people into monsters. Katniss was a villager turned predator, along with everyone else in this competition. Suzanne Collins really explores the consequences of war in this novel.
I really enjoyed this book, and I hope you enjoy it too!
Keep Reading,
