The Hunger Games
By Suzanne Collins
5⭐️
This story was gripping from the very first page. Collins gives you a thorough look into the life of Katniss in District 12. You get a real feel for the desperation that comes from just living. Then she introduces the Hunger Games.
During the Hunger Games you meet 24 kids from 12 districts. You see them fighting and trying to survive. Deeper than that though, you get Katniss’s perception and it feels like you are experiencing the challenges along side of her.
This dystopian novel is engaging and it pulls you in to the very core. When you finish you will be ready to pick up the next book in the series.
I read this book along side of my middle school son. We both enjoyed it very much.
