The Hunger Games

My Rating: 4.5 /5


I was sort of unsure about picking this one up. When books are really hyped, I tend to get annoyed and enjoy them less (enter Twilight (enter millions of Twilight fans throwing things at me)). It arrived in a box of books that I had ordered online from Chapters (taking advantage of the free shipping over $25, score!). I couldn't decide what to read first and decided to read two pages of each. I immediately got hooked on Suzanne Collins smash hit. I love that it's told through first person narration by a character to has some serious backbone. Her instincts to survive in the familiar dystopian world are put to the test when thrown into an arena to fight to the death. Even though Katniss knows she cannot escape the people who put her there, she's going to put up a serious fight. And a rebellious one at that. Packed with action, suspense, growth of a forced heroine, and a little romance, The Hunger Games more than delivers. I couldnt put it down.
