Katniss is a 16-year-old girl who lives with her mother and sister in a poor and destitute district of Panem, the remains of what used to be USA. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called "The Hunger Games". The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. Katniss's sister is chosen this year. In order to save her sister, Katniss steps up and volunteers to fight. Will she survive?
This is an extremely good book which brings us a new sense of excitement. The beginning might be slow and boring, but as soon as The Games start, you definitely can't put your eyes away from the book. The different tactics of different opponents, varying from hiding or directly fighting, and the idea of The Games make the story very original.
Rating: 8/10
