Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

A great read and very addictive…once I started I couldn’t put it down. I had to download the audio version off of Overdirve so that Icould continue the story at all times.

The Hunger Games is a young-adult science fiction series that introduces sixteen-year-old Katnis Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where North America once existed. This is where a government working in a central city called the Capitol holds power.

In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each of 12 districts to fight to the death. The Hunger Games exist to demonstrate that not even children are beyond the reach of the Capitol’s jurisdiction.

The series continues with the uprising of the other districts against the Capitol’s diabolical rule. Follow Katnis’s story as she tries to find her way in this world and keep her family and friends safe.

 

5/5 stars
