The Hunger Games Book Review!

When you turn twelve-your name is entered one time to the games. When you turn 13, your name is entered seven times, and they collect. You can enter your name more times and you will get food and a bit of money (as starving is not uncommon in District 12, the home of Katniss Everdeen and her beloved little sister, Prim.) but entering for the games is no contest--

The Games are a cruel way of entertaining. One girl and one boy from each district (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and district 12.) between the ages of twelve and eighteen are chosen to fight to the death on live television.

Katniss Everdeen is sixteen years old and has had to care for her mother and little sister Prim all of her life. In such a dark place and time, the only things that make her life more than a dark hole of depression are hunting in the woods and her little sister Prim. This year, when a "winner" is chosen for the games, Katniss' name will be entered over twenty times.

Primrose "Prim" Everdeen is twelve years old. Her name has been entered only once to the games. The odds are fully on her side. She won't get chosen...right?

Wrong.

Katniss has no choice. She volunteered and took Prim's place in the games. Prim would die, she couldn't even shoot a bow and arrow.

So. With this information. I bet you are curious.

Read the Hunger Games.

I dare you.

It's a great book but I wouldn't really suggest it to younger kids (like you know...seven year olds.) as its pretty dark, but it's very well written and absorbing.

READ IT BEFORE YOU SEE IT. (That's an order, if you do not obey your name will be entered to The Games again.
