Helpful Score: 1
As a young fan of dystopian, meaning I have only read 3 dystopians, I am still hesitant to read the genre, even though I have loved each and everyone I have read. After the hype died down for this series, I decided it was time for me to bite the bullet and try out the first in the series. So thankful I did!
A story that centers around a young girl who is thrown into a do or die situation that is televised around her country. She encounters love, evil and is torn between fighting for what is right and saving one's own self. I was enveloped into a new world that was easily explained. It was interesting to read about this made up country and find the similarities in the country we are currently living in.
With the movie on its way to theaters, I was torn as to knowing who they had cast for the characters and visualizing them myself. I did cheat a little and check out the main characters and I guess I can't give an unbiased opinion about the cast because I read the book with the cast already in my mind, so they work for me!
A story that you just can't put down once you are half way through because you must see it to the bitter end. I will be definitely picking up the next two in this series to see where Katniss ends up and where this country goes from here. I would recommend this book to those who haven't read a dystopian for a little glimpse into the genre and to those who are definite dystopian fans.
