The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is a book written by the same person that wrote the Gregor the overlander series. It is about a future USA where it is decided into 12 districts led by a ruthless Capitol. These 12 districts which used to be 13 districts rebelled against the Capitol and lost very badly. The first 12 districts were brutally oppressed after the war while the 13th district was destroyed in the rebellion. As a result the Capitol forces all the districts to send a boy and a girl to battle to the death in a match known as the hunger games.

Unfortunately even 74 years after the rebellion the Hunger Games still exists in the district 12 world of Katniss Everdeen. District 12 is a dank and depressing place where the main job is coal mining. Katniss has a mother and a sister named Prim, who she must feed due to her father's death in a mine explosion. But on the choosing day for the Hunger Games, life is going to get a lot worse for Katniss.

The Hunger games is a greatly written book that is full of suspense, romance, treachery, anger, sadness and many other emotions. If reading is tough for you then I recommend you try this book because it sucks you in so fast before you know it you will be on page 200.
