I absolutely loved reading The Hunger Games! The story is so exciting and interesting that I couldnt help but read it at every opportunity. I sped through the book and I cannot wait to get my hands on book two, Catching Fire.

Katniss, the heroine, is a strong, independent character. Her world revolves around survival, and luckily that skill is a necessity to her when she finds herself as a contender in The Hunger Games. The society in the story holds annual Hunger Games and representatives from every district are expected to fight to the death in these games. The last contestant standing is the victor, but the competition is fierce, and a diverse skill set is needed to survive.

Ive heard The Hunger Games series compared with the Twilight saga and Harry Potter series. I agree with the comparison to action-packed, fantastical, young adult fiction. However, The Hunger Games lacked all the negative aspects I found when reading the others. Theres no room for a whining inner dialogue here. No part of the book felt long, or drawn out. With every turn of the page the plot unfolded and became more engrossing.
