I avoided reading "The Hunger Games" for the longest time because it just didn't sound like anything I would enjoy reading. Children fighting to the death? No thanks. After all the hype with the movie I decided to give the book a try. (Even though after seeing previews I still didn't think the book was gonna be any good.)

I realize I began this book with really low expectations. I think the author did an excellent job of keeping it on a youth/young adult level. I would let my kids read this. I was quickly sucked into the book. The characters are very easy to like and the book was an easy read. The ending was kind of an obvious happy ending and the book is definitely nothing in depth. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
