A review by mariaellabetos
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
4.0
It's been a while since I've felt that I read not because of killing time, but because I cannot help it. Knowing that you yourself finished the book in a sudden pace, filling yourself with imagination and relating with the same emotions that the character feels - that is one good book.
The story is told in 3 parts, told in a first person perspective. Maybe the style helped me in relating with the emotions the character is trying to tell you in the book.
My favorite part is not the game itself - but on how the author pictured the Dystopian setting as bleak as possible, and how she try to twist it and give a little inch of hope. Young-adult readers love to see that there is positivity in everything. When all things lost, there will come something - something precious.
The only killjoy is the ending of the book. That is too obvious to have a sequel. Because the feeling of betrayal etched when I read the last statement:
"I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go."
I hope the movie adaptation will not disappoint me.
