The Hunger Games takes place in North America where it has been destroyed and now ran by the Capitol and divided into 12 districts. There was once District 13 but was destroyed from a rebellion.
In District 12, ace hunter, 16 year old, Katniss Everdeen, tries to keep her family alive. Her little sister Primrose and her widowed mother. For all 12 districts to keep running, the Capitol arranges a game...A death game with 24 people from the ages 12 to 18. Two people, a girl and a boy, from each district are chosen to become tributes in The Hunger Games.
When her sister is picked, Katniss quickly volunteers for her to become the girl tribute. Along with Katniss, Peeta, a baker's son, is chosen as the boy tribute from District 12.
Katniss and Peeta must defend themselves from the Capitol's death traps and the murderous tributes.
The tributes either kill or be killed.
The World Will Be Watching
Cover
The cover of The Hunger Games book actually really suites the story very well.
Characters
All of the characters had quite different personalities and I love how Suzanne describes them in great detail. As this story was in Katniss' point of view, I felt like I was there with her every moment. It also seemed like it was a reality T.V show, if you have watched the movie of course.
Plot
Like I said before, it seemed like a reality T.V show, but all in a book. You just have to picture everything in your head which was quite easy for me. The situation that Katniss and Peeta were put in was quite intense them and I really didn't want to stop reading. Just every other line it made me want to read more to find out what is going to happen next.
I really recommend this book who likes heaps of action and almost-like-reality-type.
5/5 Mocking Jays :)
