This is one of my favourite series out of all, because this is the one that has the most originality. In this book, the main character is Katniss Everdeen. She lives in a world where she has no right to do anything or speak up for herself. The Capital was in control of everything. Every year, the Capital will conduct The Hunger Games in order to revenge what they had done. In the game, every district (there are 12) has to select one boy, one girl to compete with each others. The one who survived will get repaid by living with rich and wealth for the rest of their life. Unfortunately, Katniss's sister got selected, out of sister's love, Katniss decided to volunteer for her sister. During this game, she experienced the cruelty of humanity. Killing the people she doesn't even know just because of her own survival or even seeing someone she knows got killed. At last she decided to not obey those rules, and stand up for herself. This book taught me that no one can be controlled for no reason. When you stand up for yourself, nothing can stop you, but all you need is a clear mine and courage. I really like this book because I've watched the movie and I loved it. After reading the book, I learnt a lot more about what the characters are thinking in many different perspectives. And also, of course, it's a very interesting book.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.
Book Reviews (2383)
This book is about a girl who lives in a world where there were only 12 different districts lead by the Capital. Every year the Capital chose a pair of boy and girl from each district which is above 12 year old and below 18 year old and let them kill each other in an arena. There can only be one winner in the game but the winner gets wealth forever. The Capital designed the game to exercise his power that it has over the districts so that they don’t fight back. The challenge that Katniss faced was that she had to survive the game and feed her family. I really like this book because it has lots of actions. The storyline is also very enjoyable and not too hard to understand. I’ll definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves a good read.
Awesome book! Best ever!
