The hunger games is a futuristic adventure book where North America is completely corrupt and 12 districts live in poverty while one capital  lives in comfort. Every year, the capital takes one boy and girl from each district to fight to the death in an arena. This year a 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdeen gets drafted to the hunger games and finds herself in a life or death situation, will she survive? One thing I liked about this book is that the plot is super creative and Suzanne Collins (author) perfectly balances strong emotions with  intense action scenes that had me flipping pages at a constant rate. One thing I disliked about the book is  the way the capital treats some districts better than others which is kind of unrealistic. But that is just a minor infraction in my book. This is one of the best books I have read in a while. I honestly had a hard time  thinking of a mistake about the book. Easy 5/5

Read this first at 11. I'm 24 now, and it's as good as I remember.

J’ai adoré le film alors j’ai décidé de lire le livre. J’étais à fond dedans tout le long de l’histoire. Je l’ai lue d’une traite. Une dystopie bien comme je les aime.
J’admire Katniss. Elle s’est construite une carapace avec ce qu’elle a vécu, c’est une guerrière qui n’a pas peur des gens de « là-haut ». Elle fait sa loi, ce qui déplaît aux supérieurs qui n’arrêtent pas d’essayer de l’évincer. Mon cœur a fondu pour Peeta qui si est bienveillant et attentionné avec Katniss. Il est doux et ferait tout pour elle. Mais ça lui porte malchance et le rend malheureux.
J’ai préféré le livre au film. Je fus déçue lorsque je me suis aperçue que certains détails du livre n’aient pas été présentés dans le film, mais bon c’est une adaptation, ils ne peuvent pas tout mettre. 
Pour terminer, il faut absolument lire ce livre, c’est une addiction quand on commence à plonger dedans. Il vaut le coup !
