The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

by Vianney

How would you like to live in a world where you have  the chance to die? Well, Katniss doesn’t like it, which very much explains the reason why she doesn’t want to have children.

The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, is an excellent book to read, and it is perfect for teenagers. The tributes in the Games are Katniss, Peeta, Rue, Foxface, Thresh, Cato, Clove, Glimmer and many more whose names are not mentioned. They all hope and dream of winning the Hunger Games and getting a home in the ‘Victors Village’. They all interact somehow when they plan on killing each other so that they can gain power and win.

The setting is described really well. It is as though you can picture the book in your mind. The main setting is the arena, but there are others. For example, there are the districts that each tribute is from and the places they stay when they train before the Hunger Games. Also, it makes the story all that much more magical and personal to readers, engaging them to think in numerous and creative ways.

I think that author Suzanne Collins uses a lot of descriptive words in how she describes each of the tributes’ fates. She really explains how the dilemma begins to take shape and how friendships might be lost, relationships might be tested, and divisions might begin to exist between the characters and between the districts and the Capitol.

Who do you think won the 74th Hunger Games? By reading this book, readers will be able to engage in something the characters are engaging in and find out who won. Reading it is not just something you have to do; it is something you should do in you lifetime. Now it’s up to you to decide whether you want to read it or not.
