Note this is a book review on the first hunger games book, not the entire of the series. I hope I have made this perfectly clear.
The Hunger Games is an exhilarating, terrifying, all out epic Sci-Fy story, about life 100 years in the future after the world fell. A new country called Panem has risen out of the ashes of North America. Each year, each of the different 12 districts of Panem has to send two tributes, a boy and a girl between the ages of 12 and 18. These young men and women participate in an event where the tributes must fight to the death in a gigantic arena in the capital city of Panem, just known as "The Capital." This event takes place to show that the government is in control. The main character of the story is named Katniss Everdeen, a teenage girl, who lives in the 12th and most rural and out of date district. When the reaping happens, (the reaping is the act of choosing the two tributes for the games) Katniss's 12 year old sister is drawn for the reaping, and Katiness volunteer's to be tribute instead of her sister. The male tribute is Peta Mellark, a bakers son. Suddenly, they are swept into a train headed for the 1st district, home of "The Capital" to compete in the games. Who will survive these deadly games, and will a romance begin with Peta and Katniss? I recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read.
