The Hunger Games Book Review

     It's been a couple months since I read The Hunger Games books and saw the movie. But it's still fresh in my mind, So I decided to review it. The Hunger Games is set in a futuristic world. In the ruins of what once was North America, The evil Capitol forces its twelve districts to offer up in tribute one male and female between the ages of twelve and eighteen, to fight in a nationally televised game to the death. The winner gets extra food for themselves and their districts. Most importantly, they live.
    The story begins on the day when the districts select the tributes. The District where the main characters are from is District 12. When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen's younger sister Prim gets selected, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She coinsiders it to be a death sentence. However things get interesting when she meets her fellow tribute from District 12 Peeta Mellark. Katniss must ultimatley choose between life against love. 
     One thing I loved about the book is that every chapter has some sort of twist ending. I would sit down and think to myself "I'll read a chapter" but I could never put it down after just one chapter because the ending of each chapter is so intense. I always wanted to know what would happen next in the story.  
    The other thing that stuck out to me was character development. This is something I always look at when I read a book or watch a movie. I like to see how the characters change and mature. I really liked the metamorphesis that Katniss and Peeta undergo as the story goes on as they make choices that may very well determine their fate.  
    Overall I havn't enjoyed a book like this in a long time. I never wanted to stop reading. I would recommend this book to anybody. It's not just an action book, It's a romantic book. There's something in it for everybody it gets 5 out of 5 stars
