The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a dystopian book that takes place in a country known as Panem, where the Capitol has oppressive control over the twelve other districts. Katniss Everdeen, a teenager from District 12, volunteers to take her sister's place in the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are a fight to the death involving teenagers from each district. The story follows Katniss as she experiences the Hunger Games.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Hunger Games due to its survival aspect, and I often enjoy similar survival related books like Hatchet. This book explores themes of class and war. It remains relevant and provides a warning to not divide society into classes. I would rate this book a five out of five, it provides you everything you expect from it. I would recommend this book to young adults, fans of dystopian fiction and anyone interested in stories that involve survival.
