Book Review: The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, is a dystopic first book in a trilogy. It's set in future America, renamed Panem. In Panem, there is the Capitol and the thirteen districts. The thirteen districts attempt to revolt, causing the Capitol to respond by winning the fight and obliterating District 13. As another added punishment, every year each district must send a boy and a girl between the ages of 12 to 18 to enter the Hunger Games to kill each other until there is one victor.

I found this book to be a quick read and a unique story. I definitely loved it and rate it three thumbs up, or 10 out of 5 stars.
