Book Review of The Hunger Games (Hunger Games, Bk 1)

The Hunger Games (Hunger Games, Bk 1)
mallorya avatar reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


FASCINATING account of a post-apocolyptic world with a truly evil capital city. It is the story of reality TV gone lethal and one young girl's resistance to evil.

Twelve districts must surrender a boy and a girl tribute to The Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death.

Read this before the movie comes out in March 2012.

All three books (Catching Fire, Mockingjay) are phenomenal (I read the entire series in 10 days). I am suprised by the Young Adult category though - The books deal with political angst, evil deeds, and adult overtones.
