I had heard great things about The Hunger Games trilogy, and with the movie coming out this month, I thought it would be a good choice to read with my English class. I took it home to read before the course and finished it in a weekend. I loved it! It is not usually my type of reading but I got sucked in quick and have now also finished the second book of the trilogy.
The story is about sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where the countries of North America once existed. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, holds absolute power over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 from each of the 12 districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle in which only one person can survive.
