The Hunger Games book review

This summer, I got to read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I had wanted to read it for a while and when I got to read it, I loved it from the very first page. In this book, Katniss Everdeen and her mother and sister live in a post-apocalyptic world in which there are twelve districts. Each year, if you are from age twelve to eighteen, you have to enter your name into the Hunger Games however many times depending on your age.

Katniss and her twelve year old sister, Primrose, go to the ceremony and Primrose’s name is chosen to compete in the game where you have to be the last on alive to win. But Katniss volunteers and takes Primrose’s place going to the Hunger Games along with the boy that was chosen, Peeta.

In this futuristic novel, you hear Katniss story about how she fights for her life, literally. This book supplies much action, drama, and even love. I really enjoyed The Hunger Games. Even though this book was 374 pages long, I could not put it down. I stayed up for hours one night reading so I could finish. I would highly recommend it for anyone who needs a good book to read. There is also the sequel to this book, Catching Fire. I can hardly wait to read this next book. I hope that it will be just as good as the first.
