Hunger Games Book Review


The Hunger Games


Cover of the novel, showing the title in white text on a black and grey background, above a depiction of a gold pin featuring a bird in flight, its wings spread and an arrow clasped in its beak.North America has been destroyed and is now run by the powerful Capital and is divided into 12 districts (district 13 has been destroyed due to a rebellion). In district 12 is the main character Katniss Everdeen, a 16 year old girl, who lives with her younger sister Prim and their widowed mother. In order to keep the 12 districts aware of who runs the county, the Capital arranges a game to the death each year in an arena. Each district holds a drawing of one boy and one girl to go as tributes. When Prim Rose Everdeen gets picked, Katniss her sister volunteer as tribute which means ro take her spot in the games. Along with Katniss comes also Peeta, the baker’s son, who grew up with her.


Katniss and Peeta must fend for themselves against natural elements, the Gamemakers and the other contestants whose only option is to kill or be killed.  The mystery lies behind the games and there can only be one winner. Who will it be?

This book has an amazing story line and is recommend for young readers as well as adults. It has a hint of romance and has a big adventure awaiting for you. This is by far my favourite book I have read and I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. May the Hunger Games be ever in your favour.
