Review Of Suzanne Collins 'The Hunger Games'

The Hunger Games: Review Imagine this: You've been pulled out of your everyday life to try to survive in a sea of people that want you dead purely for someone's entertainment. Sound familiar? If it does, then you've probably heard of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games. The author is wildly popular with her award-winning series. In this remarkable fantasy world, the people and places are so vividly described, you can't help but wonder what it'd be like to live as Katniss, from district 12 to the arena. This is but one of the many ways that Collins engrosses her readers into the world of Panem. The story begins with Katniss, the brave older sister to Primrose Everdeen waking up on the day of the reaping. The reaping is when the Capitol, the rulers of the country that is Panem, choose tributes, a boy and girl from each district, to fight to the death in—you've guessed it—the Hunger Games. Katniss meets up with her friend, Gale, in the woods to go fishing. They have a successful day and end up trading away most of their loot. When Katniss returns home, Prim and her mother are preparing for the reaping. As not to give away too much of the story, I'll leave you to read the rest.

Right on the back of the book, you get three quotes that praise the book, each from fairly well-known and certainly trusted literature experts. Stephen King refers to it as, "A violent, jarring, speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense.... I couldn't stop reading." John Green calls it "Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced." Finally, Stephanie Meyer says, "I was so obsessed with this book..... The Hunger Games is amazing." If these critics love The Hunger Games so much, then don't you think you should give it a read,
