The book, “The Hunger Games,” by Suzanne Collins is very entertaining at first glance but also a very thought-provoking book about society and its views on topics like world hunger, governmental power, and the entertainment industry.

The book follows the main character, Katniss Everdine through her difficult life in her home, District 12, where she lives day by day trying to provide for her family by herself from the young age of eleven. This changes when the “reaping” takes place in their town square. The “reaping” is a tradition in the districts where they pick a boy and a girl from each district surrounding the capital to fight in “The Hunger Games” in reminder that the Capital, their form of government, is in complete power over them and should never be crossed. The book follows the games and walks the reader through the process of what the “tributes” go through while preparing and fighting for their lives. 

This book really went in-depth and showed what the characters were going through and thinking throughout the book. The setting is creative it was very well-written.People who read the book will definitely want to re-read it and will not be able to put the book down. 

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
