The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a science fiction novel. Set in the dystopian
nation of Panem, Katniss Everdeen volunteers herself as a tribute for the 74th annual Hunger
Games. The games pit teenagers against one another in a fight to the death for the Capitol’s
enjoyment and to instill fear into the citizens. Katniss joins forces with Peeta Mellark, the
baker’s boy, and if they are to win they have to discern how to survive and not fall into the
Capitol’s trap.
I loved this book and the entire series! It’s such a thrilling book series and I don’t
typically enjoy dystopian type books, but this is a fantastic novel. The characters are wonderfully
written and the intensity is unreal!
