Title: The Hunger Games
Author: Suzanne Collins
This book made me think about a lot of things. One of main things I thought about was how the society in the book was run. In the book, people lived in small huts, ate whatever they could find and wear clothes made out of old shabby materials and animal skin. (No this is not why it is called the hunger games!) The government in the book is very controlling. They force two teenagers every year into a fight till death game called the hunger games. Each of the 12 brings one girl and one boy into the games. Out of them only one person survives. They have to hunt and find their own food and water. They help bring wealth into the government.
This book challenged me to re-read books. After completing the book, I enjoyed it so much I was really tempted to re-read the book. I chose to do so and understood the book so much better after re-reading it again. I had found many important details to the story plot I had missed the first time round. This has taught me to re-read books.
Dont read this book if you are not prepared to read the other two in the series. Trust me, once you read the first book you will want to read the other two. Also be prepared to become obsessed with the book. For the next few weeks after completing the series, all I could think about was the books.
The Hunger Games is a great book. It covers many genres including sci-fi, fantasy, a bit of violence and romance.
