The Hunger Games

384 pages

Okay, so I'm the last person to read The Hunger Games. I doubt anyone on this blog needs a review, but here's a short one. Twelve districts must annually send a boy and a girl to The Hunger Games in retribution for their failed attempt to take over the Capitol. Katniss and Peeta are from the same district and must fight each other and the kids from the other districts to the death. The story covers the hoopla before the games as the contestants are made ready, but most of the book is about the actual games, and I found it very interesting! I liked this book as an adult, but I would have loved it as a teen - the intended audience.
