When my friend tried to tell me about this book, I could not get excited about it. A Hunger Game? Children and teens killing each other for the sport of others? What about that could possibly hold my interest?
But once I got into it, I was mesmorized, I could not put the book down. The story is compelling. The reader follows Katniss (primarily) and Peeta (secondarily) through their journey to and through the hunger game. A journey that leaves them questioning themselves, their humanity, and who or what they love.
The writing is excellent. Suzanne Collins keeps the story moving quickly. No words are wasted. No part of the story feels like fluff or filler.
Suzanne Collins answers enough questions for this book to feel like a full book within itself but leaves enough questions unanswered that I can't wait to get started on Book 2 (Catching Fire).
